Milk analysis

Somatic cell counter LACTOSCAN SCC

The number of somatic cells (SCC) is one of the internationally recognized standards for milk quality control and is also a useful indicator for mastitis presence.

Portable Lactoscan SCC is based on direct fluorescent, low magnification microscopic somatic cell counting. Lactoscan SCC uses a very sensitive fluorescent dye Sofia Green, LED optics CCD technologies for capturing in order to make the cells analysis more accurate, reliable and fast. Mostly, the objective selectiveness of Lactoscan SCC is combined with the permanent high stability of the different mechanical, electronic, optical and chemical components of the system, which provides almost identical results during the whole duration of machine's use.

Milk test strips for neutralizers, hydrogen peroxide and urea- Milk Security

The neutralizers, hydrogen peroxide and urea in milk samples influence on the quality of milk and milk products. Milk security test strips are rapid and sensitive dry strips to detect milk adulteration.

Test for neutralizers: Neutralizers like sodium bicarbonate, sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate or hydrated lime are often added to milk. Usually they are added to milk to increase the lactometer reading.

Test for hydrogen peroxide: The impregnate test zone with enzyme and chromogen ensured very selectivity determination of hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a well-known powerful oxidizer. Its capabilities as a disinfectant are superior than chlorine (Cl2) and chlorine dioxide (ClO2). Hydrogen peroxide is commonly used in dairy industries. Peroxide indicator strips can be used to ensure that any residual peroxide sanitizer has been fully removed before filling.

Test for urea concentration: Urea is generally added in the preparation of milk to raise the solids-not-fat (SNF) value. It has been proven that urea added to milk at a higher concentration reduces the activity of hydrogen ions and increases the pH of the milk. Normal values of urea in milk are from 0 to 0.07%. Urea concentration above 0.07% means that the milk was adulterated with urea.

Milk test strips for titratable acidity and pH- MILK SECURITY

The test strip has a green-blue indication area. Through it can be determined the titratable acidity of milk in three scales: 0Th (Thörner degrees) and 0D (Dornic degrees) and 0SH (Soxhlet Henkel degrees). Measurement is valid in the absence of neutralizers.

The measured values of titratable acidity correspond to certain values of pH. Fresh cow's milk has a pH around 6.6 – 6.8. Values greater than 6.8 indicate that the milk has coagulated and a value below 6.5 indicates the presence of colostrums or bacterial contamination.

Detection of urea in milk

Adulteration of commercial urea milk is made in milk to increase the non protein nitrogen content. A too much urea concentration in food can lead to certain diseases.

The test can be used at ambiant temperature (2 to 42 °C). The kit must be stored in 2-8 C.

Clean milk with no adulteration show a violet ring formed on the surface of the milk sample, adulterated milk show a pink fragment formed on the surface of the milk sample.

Sensitivity limit > 70 mg/ 100 mL urea in milk (normal levels of urea in milk are from 20 to 70 mg/ 100 mL).

Method: In a ria tube add 4 mL of raw milk, 50 uL of reagent R2 and 200 uL of reagent R1. In 5 seconds you can read the results.

Packaging: 1 kit is egnough for 50 test

Detection of neutralizer in milk

The new milk neutralization by means of enhancers allows direct colorimetric determination of the presence of added neutralizers (such as NADH, KOH, carbonates, bicarbonates, ammonia, various alkalis, etc.) in milk, whey or cream. These banned substances can be added to fresh or badly preserved milk in order to correct pH and acidity to optimum levels, and thus show that milk is recently salted or perfectly preserved.

It is the most sensitive test for neutralizing agents detection, with immediate results in 1 second and with 2 years of expiry date.

The sample is poured into a pre-filled sample tube provided up to 10 mL., then 2-3 drops of a specific and ready-to-use R reagent are added. An immediate colorimetric reaction indicates the test result, clearly and without doubt.
