Chlortetracycline testing: testing standards for antibiotics such as chlortetracycline and oxytetracycline

in the modern food safety system, the problem of antibiotic residues has always been the focus of social attention. Tetracycline antibiotics such as chlortetracycline and oxytetracycline have been widely used in animal husbandry and breeding due to their broad-spectrum antibacterial properties to prevent and treat animal diseases and promote growth. However, the abuse or irregular use of antibiotics may lead to their residues in animal-derived foods and enter the human body through the food chain, posing a potential threat to human health, such as triggering allergic reactions and enhancing bacterial resistance. Therefore, strict testing of antibiotics such as chlortetracycline and oxytetracycline in food to ensure that their residues meet relevant standards is an important part of ensuring food safety.

In order to effectively control the risk of antibiotic residues, our country and international organizations have formulated corresponding testing standards. These standards usually specify the maximum residue limits (MRLs) of various antibiotics in different food substrates (such as meat, eggs, milk, aquatic products, etc.), as well as the corresponding detection methods and technical requirements. For example, national standards may describe in detail the sample pretreatment steps, instrumental analysis conditions (such as high-performance liquid chromatography, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, etc.), and the result judgment standards, providing a scientific and unified basis for laboratory testing. Following these standards for testing can ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results, so as to achieve effective monitoring of antibiotic residues in food.

In actual testing work, it is crucial to choose the appropriate detection method. Although traditional instrument detection methods have high accuracy and good sensitivity, they often require professional operators, complex sample preprocessing processes, and expensive instruments and equipment, and the detection cycle is relatively long. In order to meet the needs of food production enterprises for self-inspection, market supervision departments for rapid screening and other scenarios, rapid detection methods came into being. Among them, rapid detection reagents based on immunological principles such as immunochromatography strip method are playing an increasingly important role in grassroots detection work because of their simple operation, fast and efficient operation, relatively low cost, and low requirements for the detection environment. As a professional food safety rapid detection reagent manufacturer, Wuhan Yupinyan Bio provides relevant rapid detection products that can rapidly screen for various antibiotic residues such as chlortetracycline and oxytetracycline, providing strong technical support for the quality control of all links in the food industry chain.

can greatly improve the efficiency and coverage of antibiotic residue detection by strictly implementing the detection standards for antibiotics such as chlortetracycline and oxytetracycline, and combining with Wuhan Yupinyan Bio and other enterprises to provide efficient rapid detection reagents and other technical means. This not only helps food production enterprises to strengthen their own quality control and ensure product safety compliance, but also provides effective protection for regulatory authorities to detect and dispose of substandard products in a timely manner and prevent food safety risks. In the future, with the continuous innovation and development of detection technology, food safety testing will be more convenient and accurate, and contribute more to the protection of the public's "safety on the tip of the tongue".
