This antibody is highly heat stable and is shown to recover its reactivity after exposure to temperatures up to 90 degrees C. This antibody was able to bind caffeine at 70 degrees C. The binding reactivity of this antibody for caffeine and other compounds like theophylline, theobromine and paraxanthine was determined using ELISA (PMID: 16808459; 19560409; US7615218). A competition caffeine ELISA was developed for the measurement of caffeine content in beverages like coffee, Coca-Cola and Diet Coke.
