Daniel:
Here in Ecuador there are some institutions (SGS, INP,
etc.) which are doing ELISA tests for chloramphenicol.
This is the standard method accepted by FDA as first
method of chloramphenicol detection. If this method
give a postive result, then they check by HPLC to
confirm.
They say the detection limit for ELISA is 0 (zero),
but there is an incidence percentage, 0.01%, for cross
reactions with other antibiotics of the same family
(tiamphenicol and florfenicol).
