Background/Introduction: Chloramphenicol is an antibiotic that has been used to treat various types of bacterial infections such as conjunctivitis, meningitis, plague, cholera, and typhoid fever. Chloramphenicol is considered to be a broad-spectrum antibiotic that halts bacterial growth by inhibiting protein production. Usual side effects of chloramphenicol treatment may include nausea, myelosuppression (suppression of leukocyte, erythrocyte, or thrombocyte production), and diarrhea. Myelosuppression can lead to death and therefore treatment time is usually reduced to an absolute minimum. People with pre-existing liver or kidney problems may need lower treatment doses. A condition in young children known as gray baby syndrome may occur (the syndrome can cause swollen stomach and low blood pressure). Chloramphenicol use is usually not recommended near the end of pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Cell Biolabs' Chloramphenicol Competitive ELISA Kit provides a convenient method for the detection of total chloramphenicol in extracts from cells, tissue, serum, plasma, or foods. The total content of chloramphenicol in unknown samples is determined by comparison with a chloramphenicol standard curve. Each kit provides sufficient reagents to perform up to 96 assays, including standard curve and unknown protein samples. The kit has a detection sensitivity limit of 370 pM chloramphenicol.
