Applications
Meat Testing

Macrolides are a class of antibiotics derived from Saccharopolyspora erythraea (originally called Streptomyces erythreus), a type of soil-borne bacteria. Macrolides inhibit protein synthesis in bacteria by reversibly binding to the P site of the 50S unit of the ribosome. Due to the potential hazard to humans, strict MRLs have been set in EU, USA and other countries. This product utilizes the high affinity of monoclonal antibody against tylosin & tilmicosin, which can identify these two drugs. The detection limit of the Meat Macrolides Rapid Test Kit can meet both European and USA MRLs when using properly.
