Rapid Strip Test for Beta-Lactam & Tetracyline Antibotic Residues in Milk

The AuroFlow^™ BT Combo Strip Test is a qualitative and rapid lateral flow assay designed to detect both beta-lactam and tetracycline antibiotic residues in raw commingled cow's milk. This test is designed for rapid field use or reference lab settings. This immunochromatographic assay eliminates the need for a heating block.

The AuroFlow^™ lateral flow test strips are designed for the detection of a broad range of antibiotics in raw, commingled cow's milk. These rapid tests detect 14 beta-lactam antibiotics and 3 tetracyclines in milk at or below EU and CODEX Maximum Residue Limits (MRL). The combo kits allow simultaneous detection of different classes of antibiotic residues.These state-of-the-art tests also use novel methods which eliminate the need for a heating block. Validation reports are available showing the efficacy of the tests in both room temperature and cold milk. The fast, simplified protocol can be seen in the next tab. For visual interpretation, when the signal at the T-line is more intense than the signal at the C-line, the milk sample is negative for presence of residues. A signal at the T-line which is equal to or less intense than the signal at the C-line indicates a contaminated milk sample.

This kit is manufactured to the international quality standard ISO 9001.
