They have also been used as growth promoters during the production of shrimp, poultry and pigs. Long term animal experiments have shown that the parent compounds and their metabolites have carcinogenic and mutagenic characteristics. This led to the prohibition of nitrofurans for the treatment of animals used for food production. In 1993, the EU banned the nitrofurans furaltadone, nitrofurantoin and nitrofurazone for use in animals used as sources of food, and in 1995 the use of furazolidone was also prohibited.\r\n\r\nThe analysis of nitrofurans is based on the detection of the tissue bound metabolites of nitrofurans. The parent compounds are difficult to detect accurately since they are metabolized very rapidly after treatment. The tissue bound nitrofuran metabolites however are present for a long time after administration and they are used to detect nitrofuran abuse. Prior to analysis, the metabolites have to be derivatized by incubation with 2-Nitrobenzaldehyde (2NBA) into Nitrophenyl-(NP) AHD, NP-AMOZ, NP-AOZ and NP-SEM.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eparent compound \/ metabolite (abbreviation) \/ after derivatizaton\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\nNitrofurantoin \/ 1-Aminohydantoin (AHD) \/ NP-AHD\r\nFuraltadone \/ 3-Amino-5-morpholinomethyl-2-oxazolidinone (AMOZ) \/ NP-AMOZ\r\nFurazolidone \/ 3-Amino-2-oxazolidinone (AOZ) \/ NP-AOZ\r\nNitrofurazone \/ Semicarbazide (SEM) \/ NP-SEM\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBenefits:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eOne sample preparation for the nitrofurans AHD, AMOZ, AOZ and SEM as well as for chloramphenicol.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eHigh sensitivity - allows compliance with European legislation (MRPL value: 1000 ng\/kg (ppt) - Commission Decision 2003\/181\/EC).\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n \r\n\r\n ","brand":"R-Biopharm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53657900646691,"sku":"RBIOR3713","price":1098.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/5896\/9012\/files\/R3713.jpg?v=1779863691","url":"https:\/\/onelab.co.nz\/products\/ridascreen%c2%ae-nitrofuran-ahd-en","provider":"Onelab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
