Used in environmental and toxicological research to assess the induction of cytochrome P450 enzymes, particularly CYP1A, in insects and other organisms. The kit helps measure the activity of 7-ethoxycoumarin-O-deethylase (ECOD), an enzyme marker for xenobiotic exposure. It is commonly applied in studies evaluating the effects of pollutants such as pesticides, industrial chemicals, and heavy metals on metabolic pathways. Researchers use it to monitor biomarker responses in ecotoxicology, supporting risk assessment and environmental monitoring programs. The ELISA format allows for high-throughput, sensitive detection of enzyme activity in tissue homogenates from insects, fish, and other wildlife.
