A Multitest System for Detection of Antibiotics in Milk

Abstract

A description is given of the Delvotest® P multi, a test system for detection of antibiotics in milk to be used when large numbers of samples have to be investigated. By using a special delivery pipet, one person can handle 400 samples per hour. Sensitivity and test duration are similar to those of the Delvotest® ampoule test. The sensitivity may be decreased, if wanted, simply by using a smaller sample size: a sample of 0.03 ml instead of 0.1 ml decreases the sensitivity for penicillin from 0.003 to 0.01 IU per ml.
