FosfaMilk Test - Colorimetric test for alkaline phosphatase in milk

 

 

FosfaMilk Test is a colorimetric assay based on a chemical reaction which develops between the Alkaline Phosphatase enzyme, naturally present in raw milk but absent after a correct pasteurization or UHT treatment, and a specific chromogenic substrate that allows to determine the presence of the enzyme in the sample.
The European Community commission established a residual Alkaline Phosphatase activity of 350 mU/L as the maximum acceptable level of this enzyme in correctly pasteurized/sterilized milk, according to CE 1664/2006 Regulation.
This kit has been designed for the accurate and specific determination of Alkaline Phosphatase in all kinds of milk and whey samples with a test sensitivity of 200 mU/L, without the need of micropipettes, spoons or additional chemicals or consumables, but only needing an incubator or waterbath at 37°C. FosfaMilk can also analyze cream and butter samples after a very easy pretreatment.

 

Technical features:

• Easy-to-use kit based on test strips
• Smart format: 50-test box
• Results within 60 minutes on milk and whey samples from every species
• Applicable on cream and butter samples after a quick defatting process
• No need of chemical reagents, micropipettes or dedicated consumables
• Incubation: 1 hour at 37°C in every kind of thermostat or waterbath
• Easy and clear interpretation of results by eye: no reading device is required
• Semiquantitative interpretation based on the color intensity of the test strip
• High sensitivity: 200 mU/L of Alkaline Phosphatase
• Long shelf life: 12 months after the production date

ASTORI TECNICA was founded by Mr. Oscar Astori on March 1st 1959 at downtown Brescia.
During the years our company has been increasing more and more, by opening new production and service areas, by hiring more expert employees and by investing in innovative and competitive technologies, along with the achievement of higher quality standards for our Customers’ and Distributors’ satisfaction.
Today, ASTORI TECNICA leans on 5 different guiding sectors to develop its business:

? R&D and production
? Exportation
? Exclusive distributionship
? Not-exclusive distributionship (Italian market, only)
? Technical-applicative service expertise

The development and the production of our laboratory equipment are followed with great care; thanks to these activities, we get able to fulfil the new emerging market requirements and needs in a very short time. Our care for selected raw materials, with excellent reliability and the best quality/price ratio, allows us to propose innovative scientific instruments not only throughout Italian territory but - above all – in many foreign markets, where ASTORI TECNICA is currently represented and distributed successfully. Thanks to our distribution network, our products are spread throughout the 5 world continents.
Based upon the same care for the valuable standards and quality parameters, we have been developing commercial agreements with selected manufacturers for our exclusive distribution of peculiar scientific instruments, kits and other complementary products. These specific agreements usually cover a wide territory where our company is fruitfully represented by means of an established network of specialized local Dealers.
Even though ASTORI TECNICA is currently distributed in many countries, worldwide, we are constantly looking for new foreign commercial Partners, to cover new territories and new sectors of the markets.
Our technical assistance is granted by means of our highly qualified personnel, who can perform quick and efficient repairs, calibrations and application studies, both in our service department and even abroad. Technical-commercial training courses are scheduled any time to inform and update our Distributors, and to help them be efficiently able to perform local installations and service of all our products and equipments.
Feel free to contact us, trustfully! You will find a competent and reliable partner for your lab needs!
