title: Competitive direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of sulfamethazine residues in swine urine and muscle tissue.
abstract: A sensitive assay for the detection of sulfamethazine in swine urine and muscle tissue using a direct competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been developed. Undiluted urine or a phosphate-buffered saline extract of pork muscle tissue is mixed with an enzyme-labeled conjugate of sulfamethazine and horseradish peroxidase. The mixture is added to wells of a microtiter plate coated with antibody to sulfamethazine. After the test system is incubated, washed, and re-incubated with substrate and the reaction is stopped, the absorbance is measured at 405 nm. Levels of sulfamethazine as low as 20 ng sulfamethazine/g muscle tissue and 10 ng sulfamethazine/mL swine urine were detected and estimated.
