AccuSift provides high-performance fluoroquinolones competitive assay pairings, characterized by exceptional batch-to-batch consistency and optimized for IVD kit development (Lateral Flow, Chemiluminescence, ELISA, POCT). These pairings offer high affinity and specificity, facilitating rapid detection.Fluoroquinolones are a class of synthetic antibacterial agents belonging to the third and subsequent generations of quinolone drugs. They exert their effect by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase, thereby interfering with DNA replication. This class demonstrates broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, particularly against Gram-negative bacilli and some Gram-positive cocci. The introduction of a fluorine atom in 1979 with norfloxacin (third-generation) enhanced lipid solubility and antibacterial efficacy. Subsequently developed agents like ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin further optimized the antimicrobial spectrum and pharmacokinetic properties.These drugs exhibit good oral absorption and excellent tissue penetration, making them suitable for treating urinary tract, respiratory, and soft tissue infections. Common clinical varieties include norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and levofloxacin, while newer agents like moxifloxacin show enhanced activity against anaerobes and atypical pathogens. Potential adverse effects include central nervous system stimulation, photosensitivity, and irreversible peripheral neuropathy. Minors risk cartilage damage, and symptoms may worsen in patients with myasthenia gravis. Use with caution in pregnant or breastfeeding women and adolescents under 18 years old. Drug interactions, particularly with antacids, require attention for some specific agents.Performance Characteristics:
