MilkGuard 2 in 1 BT Combo Test Kit

Cat. KB02127Y-96T

About
This kit is used for rapid qualitative analysis of β-lactams and tetracyclines in raw milk, pasteurized milk and UHT milk samples. Beta-lactam and Tetracycline antibiotics are major used antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections in dairy cattle, but also for growth promotion and for collective prophylactic treatment.

But using antibiotics for non-therapeutic purposes has led to the development of antibiotic resistant bacteria, which have infiltrated our food system and pose a huge risk to human health.

This kit is based on the specific reaction of antibody antigen and immunochromatography. β lactams and tetracyclines antibiotics in the sample compete for the antibody with the antigen coated o n the membrane of the test strip. Then after a color reaction, the result can be observed.

Results
There are 3 lines in the strip, Control line, Beta-lactams Lineand Tetracylcines Line, which are briefly used as “C”, “B” and “T”.
