How to avoid errors in antibiotic testing

  • Failure to detect a positive in time is a high cost and waste of food product that no one in the dairy industry can afford.
  • The key is to choose a broad-spectrum test.

A tanker of 30,000l of fresh milk arrives, the antibiotic test is negative and the milk enters the normal production flow. In the quality control of the final milk product, ready to be marketed, you detect the presence of antibiotics: TRAGEDY.

It is vital that the test accurately and reliably detects the presence of antibiotic residues in milk.

Rely on a broad-spectrum antibiotic test.

There is a test that detects the broadest spectrum of antibiotics in milk and dairy products on the market, detecting more than 65 antibiotics.

This is Delvotest(R), a broad-spectrum test with detection levels closer to EU maximum residue levels and US safe tolerance levels.

The MRL for tetracyclines in this test is lower and very close to those indicated in the EU MRLs, so it is much more accurate than other tests on the market and the false positive rate is very low.

It is fast, easy to use, and the results are very easy to interpret.

Therefore, this test is chosen as the national reference test in most EU countries and is AFNOR & AOAC certified.
