SULFASENSOR Milk MRL 96 tests

Principle

SULFASENSOR is a rapid competitive antibody-based assay in dipstick format detecting all relevant Sulfonamides in milk at or below the EU Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs). This convenient dipstick format makes testing easy, accurate and economical.

The test can be used in-situ for daily checks or in laboratories for analysis of series of milk samples.

Benefits

1. Generic — Detection of all relevant sulfonamides
2. Rapid — Results in 6 minutes
3. Sensitive
4. Reliable and robust
5. User-friendly — Easily performed on site or in lab
6. Cost-Effective
7. Ecological – ecological packaging and waste reducing

Good to Know

Sulfonamides represent a class of synthetic antibacterial compounds widely used in food-producing animals for therapeutic, prophylactic and growth-promoting purposes. Improper use of sulfonamides in the dairy industry, such as excessive administration and inappropriate withdrawal period, may result in sulfonamide residues in milk. The presence of Sulfonamide residues in milk is of great concern, as they can give rise to human adverse effects (including strong allergic reactions, nephrotoxicity, and potential carcinogenic effect) and because they can promote growth of antibiotic-resistant strain of bacteria leading to inefficiency of these drugs for human therapeutic use.

A Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) of 100 µg/kg - ppb has been set for the sum of all sulfonamides in milk.
