Description
Milk, a nutritionally valuable substance abundant in proteins, fats, and vitamins, serves as a crucial source of nourishment for young mammals and is widely consumed in human diets. However, it is important to note that milk is also a prevalent allergen, capable of triggering potentially life-threatening reactions in sensitive individuals. It is important to differentiate between milk allergy and lactose intolerance, as they are distinct conditions. Milk allergy involves an allergic response, while lactose intolerance is a non-allergic food sensitivity resulting from insufficient lactase enzyme. Due to the possibility of milk and milk-derived products contaminating other food items during production, it is imperative to meticulously monitor both the manufacturing environment and food products for any traces of milk. The food industry must employ highly sensitive testing equipment to ensure adherence to rigorous food safety regulations.
The AgraStrip® Pro Milk test kit is a lateral flow device (LFD) specifically developed to swiftly and conveniently detect milk residues on-site. It is designed to be used for analyzing raw materials, finished food products, beverages, rinse waters, and environmental samples. With this kit, milk traces can be qualitatively detected with utmost simplicity, speed, and reliability.
