Test Kit for Determination of Drug Residues
in Milk and Milk Products
Self Food Quality Care
Drug administration for prevention and treatment in dairy cattle causes the problem of drug residues in their tissues and milk which will have and effect on consumers and industry of yoghurt and cheese. Easy and rapid test for screening drug residues in milk and dairy products in necessary to be developed in order to control milk quality for the safety of consumers.
Health impact
Prolonged consumption of milk with drug residues can cause drug resistance and allergenicity to sensitive consumers.

·Other dairy products
Number of Tests / Kit
50 Tests
Test Kit Tool
·50 prepared tubes
·10 droppers
Test Kit Tool Not Include:
Accessory tool : water bath/ Incubate (need accurate temperature control at 64+2 °C and 82 + 2°C )
Effectiveness of Test Kit
This test kit has 91.7% accuracy, 100% sensitivity and 90.5% specificity. It can be tested for the presence of at least 12 kinds of drug residues : ampicillin, amoxicillin, bacitracin, chlortetracycline, erythromycin, oxytetracycline, penicillin, rifampicin, sulfadimethoxine, tetracycline and tylosin. However, after this screening test, the kinds of drug residues in most cases may be indentified, if needed, by using chemical or immunological
techniques. Only penicillin and sulfonamide group can be confirmed by using microbiological technique with the aid of some enzymes of chemicals.
Keeping / Age
Always keep prepared tubes at 4-8°C during 3-month shelf-life. Storage prepared tubes outside refrigerator for hours can retard the microbial growth which results in prolong incubation time needed and so, false positive results are possible to obtain.
