BEE4SENSOR

  Bee4Sensor is a rapid assay in dipstick format detecting the contamination of honey samples by Tylosin,

  Chloramphenicol, Quinolones And Sulfonamides molecules.

  This convenient dipstick format makes testing easy, accurate and cost-effective.

  Different methods (“field test” or “lab test”) of this assay allow its use either in-situ or in regulatory and

  industrial labs of control.

  This test can be also used at beekeepers or cooperatives levels on a specific batch of honey
  before mixing in order to avoid the general contamination of all the tank content after blending.

  Principle

  Bee4Sensor is a competitive test involving specific receptors and generic monoclonal antibodies in one single operation.

  The test requires the use of two components : 

   - The first component is a microwell containing predetermined amounts of both receptors and antibodies linked to gold particles.

   - The second is a dipstick made up of a set of membranes with specific capture lines. 

  For a valid test, the upper red control line has to be visible after the second incubation.

  The other 4 lines are the specific “test” lines placed below the control line.

  When the sample is free of antibiotics, a colour development occurs at the specific capture lines, indicating the absence of the targeted

  analytes in the sample.

  On the contrary, the presence of antibiotics in the sample will not cause the coloured signal to appear at the specific capture lines.

 Good to Know  

  Honey is considered as a natural and healthy product. Antibiotics have been used in apiculture to prevent and treat bacterial diseases

  including Foulbrood and Nosemosis.

  Due to their potential risk for human health, the use of antibiotics has been banned by regulating authorities in Europe, USA and

  many other countries.

  Despite this prohibition, the presence of drug residues in honey is frequently reported for antibiotics such as Tetracyclines, Sulfonamides,

  Tylosin, Quinolones and Chloramphenicol.

  As a consequence the general drug residue surveillance has been increased, underlining a demand for rapid, easy and multiple

  screening tests for the detection of antibiotics in honey.
