HOW DOES IT HELP YOU?
Equinox helps you meet the legal requirements regarding the presence of quinolone residues and avoid problems in the manufacture of fermented products due to the presence of quinolones.
TEST PRINCIPLE
EQUINOX is a qualitative test based on the growth inhibition of E. coli bacterium, a microorganism especially sensitive to quinolones.
When the test is incubated at 37 °C, bacteria cells grow modifying the redox potential of the medium and changing its colour from blue to brown-orange. If samples contain quinolones at concentrations above the limit of detection of the kit, microorganisms will not grow neither colour changes will be observed.
- Scope: detection of quinolones in milk, meat and egg
- Automatic test in milk: with eReader MT
- Manual assay: one-step assay of 18 hours at 37 °C.
