A competitive enzyme immunoassay for screening and quantitative analysis of AOZ in various matrices

Nitrofurans are a group of synthetic broad-spectrum antibiotics, which are widely used for the prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal infections.

Nitrofurans are metabolised in animal tissue to protein-bound residues. AOZ is the metabolite of the parent compound furazolidone.

The EuroProxima AOZ ELISA is a competitive enzyme immunoassay that is validated for screening of several food matrices.
