Delvotest - used everywhere

Delvotest is a microbiological test which can detect the presence of a wide range of antibiotics thanks to the bacterial strain Bacillus Staerothermophilus. When used in milk testing, this strain is inhibited if antiobiotics are present.

The Delvotest 'on the farm' kit comes in ampoule form. Each ampoule contains a culture medium and Bacillus stearothermophilus spores. In the presence of milk and its natural nutrients, the bacteria will germ and multiply during the incubation period (at an optimum temperature of 64°C). However, if antibiotic residues are present in the milk this does not happen.

The Delvotest 'on the farm' kit is specifically designed for farmers. The kit contains everything you need for quick and easy testing on the farm:

1. An incubator to maintain the milk samples at 64°C
2. Ampoules containing the culture are provided in the kit and can also be ordered as required
3. A thermometer to watch the temperature
4. A c hronometer to ensure correct incubation times are followed

Delvotest is also used daily for milk tank testing by thousands of dairy companies throughout the world.
