Application of microplate reader in the food field
The application of microplate readers in food-related laboratories mainly includes the following aspects:
1. Grain and oil testing
Whether it is starch factories, flour mills, grain and oil companies, or grain purchase stations, grain reserves, grain bureaus, grain depots, etc., microplate readers are all inseparable! In these industries, the main task of microplate readers is to carry out fungi Toxin detection, the most commonly detected mycotoxins are DON.
The experimental procedure for mycotoxin detection is as follows: weighing, adding extract solution, shaking and mixing, centrifugation or filtration, then adding sample, washing plate, incubating, adding substrate, adding stop solution, then read by a microplate reader, calculating a result. According to the experimental process, the supporting equipment of the microplate reader includes a balance, a vortex mixer, a centrifuge, a pipette, an electrothermal incubator, and a mycotoxin kit.
2. Meat product testing
The meat product testing industry includes breeding plants, slaughterhouses, meat product deep processing enterprises, etc. The role of microplate readers in these industries is mainly to detect clenbuterol hydrochloride (Clenbuterol hydrochloride, ractopamine, salbutamol, etc.), antibiotics, and other veterinary drug residues.
3. Dairy testing
The microplate reader can detect the illegal additive in dairy products - melamine in the dairy industry.
4. Aquatic product testing
The main application of microplate reader in aquatic product testing is to detect antibiotics such as chloramphenicol and malachite green.
Application of microplate readers in other fields
1. Application of microplate reader in agriculture:
The microplate reader can be used for the rapid detection of residues of organophosphorus such as methamidophos and carbamate pesticides such as carbamate in vegetables. The reagent cost of pesticide residue detection by microplate reader is relatively high, and each detection is about 80-100 yuan.
2. Application of microplate reader in animal diseases:
① Toxoplasma gondii IgG antibody detection; ② detection of O-type foot-and-mouth disease virus antibody; ③ detection of porcine PRRS virus antibody; ④ detection of pseudorabies virus antibody; ⑤ detection of swine fever antibody; ⑥ detection of parvovirus antibody.
3. Application of microplate reader in poultry disease detection:
The microplate reader can be used for avian influenza H5N1 antibody detection and avian influenza virus antibody detection in chicken serum. It can evaluate the immune status of the avian influenza vaccine in chicken farms, etc.
