Milk Antibiotic Residue Testing

AiM GmbH has emerged from the Inhibitor-Test-Systems branch of Landesvereinigung der Bayerischen Milchwirtschaft e. V. (Bavarian Dairy Association), which had already been producing testing material for the inhibitor probe as well as for the proof of residua of veterinary medicinal products in milk and milk products since 1973. Unvaryingly high product quality is guarranted by an efficient quality assurance system, certified by DIN EN ISO 9001 of LGAInterCert, Reg. No. 1820763 with the intern and extern quality control. Furthermore, tight cooperation with approved research establishments ensures constant optimisation and further advancement of the products as well as their production.

BRT Inhibitor Test

This test was developed especially for the detection of inhibitors in milk, and distinguishes itself by its particularly high sensitivity to betalactam antibiotic residues. The maximum residue limits (MRLs) laid down by the EU for betalactam antibiotics are reliably encompassed by the BRT Inhibitor Test; other antibiotics and sulfonamides present will also be detected. The BRT Inhibitor Test is especially suitable for examining raw milk and heat treated milk, it is particularly designed to fulfil the demands of milk quality regulation in Germany, but is also used successfully in other countries in quality evaluation and payment for tanker milk. In notice of our evidences the testing of milk products and preserved samples is also quite possible.

BRT MRL-Screening Test

The MRL-Screening Test is a modified BRT which is distinguished by an increased sensitivity towards certain antibiotics and sulfonamides. Besides the statutory maximums (MRLs, laid down by the EU) for betalactam antibiotics, the test also encompasses substances from the sulfonamide group, macrolide group and aminoglycoside group to MRL level. Other substance groups are also detected with greater sensitivity than in the BRT Inhibitor Test.
BRT MRL-Screening Test is especially suitable for examining raw milk and heat treated milk and is particularly suitable for quality assurance as well as for the examination of dairy milk and milk for the production of fermented milk products.
