The invention describes haptens which are derivatised using a crosslinker at positions schematically illustrated as R1, R2, R3 and R4 on accompanying Figure 1a, with the proviso that R1 is not carboxyl. In addition, the invention claims an immunogen comprising certain of the aforementioned haptens coupled to an antigenicity-conferring carrier material; a conjugate comprising certain of the aforementioned haptens coupled to a detectable labelling agent; as well as, antibodies raised against the aforementioned immunogen and capable of binding with at least one structural epitope of metabolites of fentanyl and of metabolites of fentanyl analogs.
The invention further provides a method and a kit for detecting, or determining the quantity of, metabolites of fentanyl and metabolites of fentanyl analogs, as well as, use of the aforementioned conjugate with the aforementioned antibodies for detecting, or determining the quantity of, metabolites of fentanyl and metabolites of fentanyl analogs.
The present invention has broad specificity across various metabolites of fentanyl and various metabolites of fentanyl analogs.
