The CDIATM Methyltestosterone Colloidal Gold Test Cassette (Meat) is a lateral flow immunoassay for the detection of methyltestosterone in meat.
Methyltestosterone antigen is coated on the test region of the nitrocellulose membrane of the strips, and methyltestosterone 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 methyltestosterone in the sample is over the detection limit, line T is blank; on the other wise, if methyltestosterone in the sample is less than the detection limit, line T is red.
Methyltestosterone is a synthetic, orally active anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) which is used in the treatment of androgen deficiency in males and for a number of other indications. In the aquaculture industry, methyltestosterone has been used in seedling cultivation and gender control. The CDIATM Methyltestosterone Colloidal Gold Test Cassette (Meat) is a lateral flow immunoassay for the detection of methyltestosterone in meat.
