BetaStar® Advanced for Tetracyclines

BetaStar® Advanced for Tetracyclines is an assay for the rapid detection of tetracycline, chlortetracycline and oxytetracycline in raw, commingled cow milk at or below established US tolerance levels. It is the only rapid method specifically designed for the United States tolerance levels. No dilution step is required for confirmation testing.

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