UC Davis Assays
CALUX Bioassay
The Calux Bioassay is a relatively inexpensive and fast way of detecting dioxin-like halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons (HAHs) in environmental matrices. Materials are available to non-profit and research institutions.

* All assays utilize polyclonal antibodies. Each assay consists of haptens, antibodies and protein conjugates. In some cases, not all assay components are readily available. Assays are in various states of ‘readiness’. For example, some assays have reagents available that have not been tested, or have not been fully formatted for use. In other cases the assays are fully validated, including use by other laboratories. Other binding reagents are also available, such as phage displayed peptides and single domain antibodies derived from camelids. Information about each assay can be obtained by contacting Dr. Hammock or Mrs. Gee.
