From Raw Milk to Consumer Shelf — Complete Dairy Testing Solutions for Every Stage
1 - Veterinary Drug Residues
DASH Kit: Microbial inhibition
DASH Test Kit
Dairy Antibiotics Spore High-Throughput Kit. A qualitative test based on microbial inhibition, capable of detecting over 60 antimicrobial drugs across 8 major antibiotic classes in raw milk. Designed for high-throughput, large-volume on-site screening, this solution provides farmers with a practical early-warning tool to ensure milk safety and compliance with regulatory MRLs. Read more
2 - Illegal Additives & Contaminants
Melamine
Melamine is a nitrogen-rich compound illegally added to increase apparent protein content, posing health risks and banned in food and feed.
Beta-Lactamase
Beta-lactamase is used to degrade antibiotic residues in milk, masking contamination and compromising food safety. Beta-lactamases are enzymes produced by bacteria that provide multi-resistance to Beta-lactams antibiotics.
Preservatives , Disinfectants
Nitrate, Nitrite (Preservatives)
Chlorine, Hydrogen Peroxide (Disinfectants)
3 - Mycotoxins
Mycotoxins are toxic compounds produced by fungi that can contaminate feed and dairy, posing serious health risks to animals and humans.
4 - Hormones
5 - Pesticides
Ensure safety of milk and dairy products by detecting pesticide residues in raw milk and animal feed.
6 - Pathogen & Microbiological Testing
Only 3 steps
MicroFast® microbial count plates are a rapid and reliable microbial testing solution, which can greatly improve the efficiency of laboratory testing and is widely accepted by enterprises. Read more
MicroFast® microbial count plates:
Main reason of gastrointestinal infections:
Staphylococcus aureus can produce extracellular protein toxins—known as enterotoxins—under suitable conditions. The classical enterotoxins include types A, B, C, D, and E, all of which are associated with vomiting and food poisoning.
7 - Nutritional Analysis
Vitamin Test Kits use microbiology method to detect the volume:
8 - Pasteurization Validation
Proper pasteurization can guarantee milk safety as well as maintain most nutrients. Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), Lactoperoxidase (LPO) are key indicators to evaluate whether the milk has the proper pasteurization process:
Heat damage and nutritional integrity:
9 - Adulteration
Milk adulteration remains a major concern, ranging from the addition of small molecules like melamine for fraud to the unregulated mixing of cheaper cow milk into premium species milk such as sheep or buffalo:
Technology Platform
Testing Solutions Across Rapid on-site screening or high-throughput laboratory analysis
Lateral Flow Platform - Rapid Tests
Rapid, user-friendly test strips or cassettes for on-site detection of antibiotics, mycotoxins, pesticides, and adulterants in dairy. Designed for high sensitivity and quick results without the need for complex equipment.
Microbiology Test Platform
MicroFast® microbial count plates are ready-to-use plates designed for rapid and accurate enumeration of microorganisms in food, dairy, and environmental samples. They offer a simplified alternative to traditional pour plates, enabling easy operation, shorter incubation times, and clear colony interpretation for total plate count, coliforms, yeast & mold, and specific bacteria.

- Inoculation – Lift the top film and add sample.
- Incubation – Incubate the plates following instruction.
- Interpretation – Count the colonies.
ELISA Test Kits
A highly sensitive immunoassay that detects target substances through antigen-antibody interactions and enzyme-driven signal generation. In competitive ELISA, more antigen in the sample means fewer antibodies bind to the plate, enabling quantification.
Immunoaffinity columns (IAC)
IAC uses toxin-specific antibodies bound to a gel matrix to selectively capture target analytes such as mycotoxins in food and feed. Impurities are washed away, and the purified analyte is eluted, allowing for efficient sample cleanup and concentration. This process enhances the accuracy and sensitivity of downstream analysis by methods like HPLC or LC-MS/MS. Read more
