Verotoxin ELISA Test kit Intended Use
E. coli Verotoxin Food ELISA Kit that is an Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to screen food products for the presence of Verotoxin. This Verotoxin Food ELISA Kit is a quick, economical, and sensitive Food Toxin ELISA Kit which is designed to detect verotoxin antigen in food.




Food Verotoxin ELISA Kit Components:
• Microplate: 96 wells coated with rabbit anti-Verotoxin
(VT1 &VT2) antibodies
• Negative Control
• Positive Control
• Conjugate anti-mouse-Peroxidase
• Monoclonal anti-Verotoxin antibodies
• Chromogen
• Stop Solution
• Washing Solution




Method Principle
This Diagnostic Automation/ Cortez Diagnostics Inc. Food Verotoxin ELISA Kit is a quantitative test based on the principle of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. During the first incubation, Verotoxin antigen in the sample is captured by antibodies attached to the wells of the microplate provided in Verotoxin ELISA Kit.

Background Information
The Verotoxin (VT), or shiga-like toxin family is a group of closely related toxins produced by certain strains of Escherichia coli. These strains are a significant cause of human hemorrhagic colitis (HC) and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). In addition, they are both water borne and food borne and may also be transmitted from person-to-person by the oral-fecal route. In adults, illness caused by Verotoxin may last several days, while in children and the elderly, the illness can be fatal. Infections occur as sporadic illnesses or outbreaks, and are distributed throughout North and South America, Europe, and Asia. The peak incidence of infection occurs during summer months. Currently, simple to perform ELISA, like this Verotoxin Food ELISA Test Kit, are being used as an alternative to the longer tedious methods. These antigen-detection assays provide a cost effective tool for the management of diarrheal disease with an accurate and rapid test.
