SNAP Beta-Lactam ST Plus Antibiotic Milk Test Kit
SNAP Beta-Lactam ST Plus
Ensure the highest milk safety standards with the SNAP BetaLactam ST Plus Antibiotic Milk Test Kit, a fast, reliable, and easy-to-use solution for detecting beta-lactam antibiotic residues in milk. This test is essential for dairy farms, milk processors, and veterinary professionals who need to comply with regulatory standards and ensure consumer safety.
Why Is Antibiotic Testing Important?
Beta-lactam antibiotics, including penicillins and cephalosporins, are commonly used in dairy farming to treat infections in cows. However, if traces of these antibiotics remain in milk, they can pose health risks to consumers, disrupt dairy product processing, and result in costly regulatory violations. Many countries enforce strict Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for antibiotics in milk, making regular on-site testing a necessity.
Key Features & Benefits:
✔ Fast & Efficient Testing – Results in just 6 minutes, allowing quick decision-making.
✔ Highly Accurate – Detects multiple beta-lactam antibiotics at or below industry MRLs.
✔ Easy-to-Use SNAP Technology – Minimal training is required, making it ideal for farm and lab settings.
✔ Cost-Effective Compliance Solution – Prevents milk contamination, product recalls, and financial losses.
✔ Trusted Worldwide – Used by dairy farmers, milk processors, and veterinary professionals globally.
How It Works:
The SNAP BetaLactam ST Plus test kit is designed for simple, on-site testing, requiring no complex lab equipment.
- Prepare the Milk Sample – Collect a fresh milk sample and mix it with the provided reagents.
- Incubate the Sample – The sample is incubated for 3 minutes to allow the test to develop.
- Run the SNAP Test – Activate the SNAP device, and within 6 minutes, the results will be clearly visible.
- Interpret the Results – A positive or negative indicator shows whether antibiotic residues are present.
This straightforward process ensures that milk is tested quickly and accurately, reducing the risk of contaminated milk entering the supply chain.
Who Should Use This Test Kit?
✅ Dairy Farmers – Monitor milk from cows treated with antibiotics to prevent contamination.
✅ Milk Processors – Ensure raw milk meets safety standards before further processing.
✅ Veterinarians – Verify treatment compliance and prevent antibiotic residues in milk.
✅ Quality Control Labs – Perform routine testing to uphold milk safety regulations.
Compliance & Industry Standards
The SNAP BetaLactam ST Plus test kit meets global food safety and dairy industry standards, ensuring compliance with:
- European Union (EU) MRLs for antibiotic residues
- United States FDA regulations
- Codex Alimentarius guidelines for dairy safety
- Local dairy industry quality control measures
By using this rapid antibiotic test, dairy producers can avoid milk rejections, ensure high-quality dairy production, and comply with strict food safety regulations.
Why Choose SNAP BetaLactam ST Plus?
This test provides unparalleled ease of use, speed, and accuracy, making it one of the most reliable beta-lactam antibiotic detection solutions available.
