Antibiotics Analysis Services

Antibiotics are complex chemical substances produced by microorganisms as secondary metabolites, which are detrimental to other microorganisms. Of the approximately 7000 antibiotics currently known, hundreds are commercially produced using microbial fermentation. Penicillin, a type of fungal metabolite, declared the beginning of antibiotics' golden age as it had motivated more investigations to be done on hundreds of microbial metabolites to control bacterial diseases[1]. Among the most studied secondary metabolites in history, antibiotics play a crucial role in cancer treatment, plant pathology, food preservation, veterinary medicine, biochemistry and molecular biology research.
The analysis of antibiotics is a prerequisite for their rational application. Alfa Chemistry has been focusing on antibiotic research for many years and has extensive experience and precise analytical methods. No matter how complex the antibiotic compounds, we are confident to challenge the difficulties and provide reliable analysis services for your research.

Our Analysis Methods
The advent of antibiotics revolutionized the treatment of bacterial infections in humans and other animals. However, the irrational use of antibiotics also leads to many potential environmental and human health risks. Antibiotics analysis is key to evaluate their risks. Alfa Chemistry has mastered a variety of analytical methods to analyze antibiotics comprehensively and accurately.
Microbiological analysis method
Microbiological analysis is a classic method for detecting the presence of antibiotics. It employs antibiotics-sensitive species of bacteria to determine whether specific antibiotics are present in a given sample and to determine their concentration with limited sensitivity.
Aptamer sensors analysis method
The aptamer sensors analysis method is a new technique for antibiotics analysis. Aptamers are DNA or RNA oligonucleotides that can bind to specific antibiotics with high affinity. Aptamer sensors developed for antibiotics detection fall into three categories: electrical, fluorescent and colorimetric.
Immunoassay analysis method
Immunoassay analysis method relies on the specificity of interactions between antibodies and the molecules of interest. It provides highly sensitive antibiotics detection in complex liquid or processed solid samples.
Physical and chemical analysis method
Physical and chemical analysis method target specific properties of the molecule such as size, charge, binding characteristics or reactive properties to identify antibiotics in a diverse sample.
