Quantum BT-CC

Quantum BT-CC is a lateral flow test for the simultaneous detection of 2 antibiotic families, β-Lactams, including Ceftiofur and Cefalexin, and Tetracyclines in raw cow, sheep, and goat milk, pasteurized milk and milk powder. It is developed and manufactured to safely test EU MRLs and it can be used in the field or in the lab.

GENERAL INFORMATION:The Quantum BT-CC lateral flow test is based on the competitive format immunoassay principle. Four capture lines, one for β-lactams, one for tetracyclines, one for ceftiofur and one for cefalexin are placed below the control line, respectively. The detection system consists of a β-lactam receptor and specific antibodies against tetracyclines, ceftiofur and cefalexin conjugated with gold nanoparticles. During testing, the milk sample flows through the membrane carrying along the detection system. If the sample is free of antibiotics, color development occurs at the four test lines, indicating the absence of the targeted analytes in the milk sample. On the contrary, the presence of antibiotics in the sample will cause reduced colored signal at the test lines depending on the class of antibiotics present. A valid test should always have the upper control line red.
