BetaStar® Advanced for Beta-lactams

BetaStar® Advanced for Beta-lactams is an assay for the rapid detection of penicillin, ampicillin, amoxicillin, cloxacillin, cephapirin and ceftiofur in raw, commingled cow milk at or below established tolerance and/or safe levels. The ceftiofur line detects the sum of the parent drug ceftiofur and its metabolites.

BetaStar Advanced is designed to work exclusively with the Raptor® Integrated Analysis Platform providing the next generation in antibiotic screening.

1 The tolerance level for each of the tetracycline antibiotics has been set by the FDA as the sum of all tetracyclines.

2 The 90/95 sensitivity level was calculated from data collected during validation testing by a third party laboratory. Sensitivity was based on testing multiple levels of each tetracycline antibiotic samples per concentration.
