The ELISA-TEK™ Raw Meat Speciation Kits have been formatted and refined for ease-of-use as sensitive and specific tests designed to aid in the resolution of species content in raw products
The ELISA-TEK™ Raw Meat Speciation Kit qualitatively detects animal species content in uncooked meat, poultry, meat products, eggs and milk. The testing method is based on antibodies targeting species-specific proteins and employs the techniques of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Preventing adulteration of animal products with less desirable or objectionable species is important for economic, regulatory, health, and cultural reasons. The identification of meat species is performed in many countries to assure consumers that the meat and poultry they purchase is safe, unadulterated, properly labeled, and satisfies the requirements of various communities where the consumption of particular meat is proscribed.
