Beta-Lactams Test Kits


In order to test for the presence of beta-lactams in raw milk, you must first know the definition of this antibiotic. These tests are available in a variety of forms, including lateral flow strips, which detect 14 beta-lactams that are below the EU Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs). There are also combo kits available for detection of different classes of antibiotic residues at the same time. These kits eliminate the need to use a heating block and validate their efficacy in cold milk.

The New SNAP Beta-lactams Test Kits  has significantly reduced the time and effort required for testing antibiotic residues. The test can detect the presence of tetracycline antibiotics, penicillin G, ampicillin, ceftiofur, cloxacillin, and cephapirin in raw cow milk in less than five minutes. The test kit contains the SNAP device, sample tube with cap, reagent pellet, and pipet.

The sensitivity level of the test kit for beta-lactams is 90/95. There are different test kits for each of the six antibiotics. One is designed for testing raw milk, while another is for raw meat. A high-sensitivity beta-lactams test kit will detect the presence of beta-lactams in raw meat, poultry, and fish. The sensitivity level is not affected by bacterial counts in raw milk.

The growth of this antibiotic residue test kit market is anticipated to continue as North America is the largest end-user of these products. The US and Canada will be the largest market for these products, accounting for nearly US$ 100 Mn in 2017. Europe and Asia-Pacific excluding Japan are expected to experience the fastest growth rates, with the market for antibiotic residue test kits reaching more than US$ 210 Mn by 2026.
