Cefalosporins Rapid Test Kit is a 10min rapid test to detect multiple cefalosporin drug residues in milk, honey, egg, meat, etc. It is fast, accurate and specific.
Cefalosporins are widely used natural or artificial antibiotics in animal or human clinical practice, side effects of which include severe allergy, etc. Maximum Residue Level/Limit (MRL) has been established against β-lactams in USA, EU, Japan, China and many other countries. This Cefalosporins Rapid Test Kit is based on lateral flow immunoassay to detect cefalosporins in milk.
Key facts of the Cefalosporins Rapid Test Kit
- Ready to use kits for farmers, truck drivers, etc
- No incubation required
- Result visible in less than 10min
- Receptor assay with broad-specificity to cephalosporins.
Detection Limit of the Cefalosporins Rapid Test Kit
