Randox Food Diagnostics has developed and manufactured a multi-analyte milk testing platform.
Up to 675 test results can be achieved in less than two hours using the Antimicrobial I Plus Array, which can detect up to 14 sulphonamide compounds and trimethoprim from a single milk sample.
The Antimicrobial II Array enables the detection of multiple classes of antimicrobials, including 17 quinolone compounds and 10 tetracycline compounds (including the epimers of oxytetracycline, tetracycline and chlortetracycline).
This array also includes tylosin, ceftiofur, streptomycin and florfenicol.
The Beta Lactam Array, soon to be released, will enable the detection of all penicillins and cephalosporins including amoxicillin, oxacillin, penicillin G, cefacetril and ceftiofur.
Using the Evidence Investigator bench-top analyser, the testing platform can identify and provide a corresponding concentration for the antimicrobial class present in a sample, reducing the number of confirmatory analyses required.
