The CDIATM Medroxyprogesterone Colloidal Gold Test Cassette (Meat) is a lateral flow immunoassay for the detection of medroxyprogesterone in meat.
Medroxyprogesterone antigen is coated on the test region of the nitrocellulose membrane of the strips, and medroxyprogesterone antibody is labeled with colloid gold. During a test, the colloid gold labeled antibody coated in the strip move forward along the membrane, and a red line will show up when the antibody gathers with the antigen in the test line; if medroxyprogesterone in the sample is over the detection limit, line T is blank; on the other wise, if medroxyprogesterone in the sample is less than the detection limit, line T is red.
Medroxyprogesterone (abbreviated as MP) is a progestin which is used in veterinary medicine in France to control estrus in animals. A derivative, medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), is used as a medication in humans, and is far more widely known in comparison. Compared to MPA, MP is over two orders of magnitude less potent as a progestogen. The CDIATM Medroxyprogesterone Colloidal Gold Test Cassette (Meat) is a lateral flow immunoassay for the detection of medroxyprogesterone in meat.
