Background
Chlorpyrifos is an insecticide belonging to the group of organophosphothioates. It is used in the culture of vegetables and in citrus orchards. Chlorpyrifos is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and as such having a highly toxic effect on the nervous system. There is evidence that chlorpyrifos has an effect on the foetus, which may lead to behavioural disorders.

Immunogen: BSA-Chlorpyrifos conjugate

Product
Each vial contains 1.0 ml purified (by caprylic acid extraction) rabbit polyclonal antibody in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide.

Specificity
Target: Chlorpyrifos, CAS no.: 2921-88-2, Solubility: Methanol, Iso-octanol, Benzene.

Species Reactivity: The specificity of the antibody was determined by measuring the cross-reactivity in ELISA for a range of compounds. Cross Reactivity Pesticides % Cross Reactivity Chlorpyrifos 100% (2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid <0.1% Pirimiphos <0.1% Deltametrin <0.1% Fenitrothion <0.1% Permethrin <0.1% Etrimphos <0.1% Atrazine <0.1% Methacrimphos <0.1% Aldicarb <0.1% Malathion <0.1% Tebuconazole <0.1%

Applications
The antibody may be used in ELISA and Immuno-affinity-chromatography (IAC). Suggested dilution 1:500 in ELISA (this titer is defined as the dilution that gives 50 % of the absorbance from the maximum absorbance when tested with ELISA). ). Plates are coated with 400 ng/ml ovalbumin conjugated-chlorpyrifos. HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG should be used as a tracer in a 1:8,000 dilution.

Storage
Store at 4 °C or -20 °C. The working antibody solution is stable for at least 7 days at 4 °C. Precautions should be taken for storage for longer periods. Problems of long term stability may occur with highly diluted solutions. For long storage purposes in solution the addition of sodium azide to 0.02 % is advised with the appropriate precautions of use.
