The MaxSignal® Cimaterol ELISA Test Kit is a competitive enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative analysis of cimaterol in feed, meat/tissue, milk and urine. Cimaterol can
improve the meat/fat ratio in fattened animals and accelerate livestock growth. They also have a relaxing effect on non-striated musculature and can be used as antiasthmatic and
tocolytic agents in human beings. Therefore, excess cimaterol residues in livestock products may lead to health risks for consumers. This has led to a prohibition of cimaterol use
in food production. The amount of cimaterol residues can be determined by methods such as HPLC or GC-MS. However, these traditional methods usually require very expensive
preparation procedures. Alternatively, enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) can be used as a screening system, which is simple, rapid, sensitive and cost-effective compared with
traditional methods.
