Stick c-GMP - Quick test for detecting added cow whey in milk

  

 

 

The Stick c-GMP’s are 3 immunochromatographic kits based on the easy-to-use test-strip format for the determination of added whey in milk and powdered milk.
The test principle is the determination of the Casein-GlycoMacroPeptide, which is present in huge amounts in whey due to the casein enzymatic degradation during the cheese manufacturing process. Not-adulterated milk does not include this substance, if not in low traces.
Stick c-GMP can detect the adulteration with a sensitivity of 1% or 2% of whey in fresh milk, or 4% in samples if they are not stored in optimal conditions.
This test is highly reliable thanks to the use of a specific antibody and can be performed in 5 minutes only, after a quick sample pre-treatment. The 3 available kit sizes differ in number and in the single/multiple package of the strips.

 

Technical features:

• Reliable and specific, thanks to the “antigene-antibody” test principle
• Very high sensitivity: 1% or 2% of whey in properly-stored milk (4%, otherwise)
• Sensitivity level at user’s choice, according to the sample dilution rate
• Results in 5 minutes and very easy procedure
• It can be applied to milk and to powdered milk samples
• All strip-tests can be stored at room temperature (2° – 30°C)
• Interpretation by eye: no need of special equipments to read the results
• Easy interpretation, thanks to the different coloured lines (Control: blue – Positive: red)
• Three different kit formats are available: 5 individually sealed strips, 50 strips in a tube, 50 individually sealed strips

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.
