Neogen Corporation has received Performance Tested Status from the AOAC Research Institute for its new rapid test developed for use in the U.S. to detect dairy antibiotic residues, including ceftiofur, in milk. BetaStar Plus (AOAC-RI 021107) detects dairy antibiotic residues in the beta-lactam group (penicillin, ampicillin, amoxicillin, cephapirin, ceftiofur and cloxacillin), at or below FDA regulatory levels. The simple dipstick test requires only minimal training and equipment to produce consistently accurate results. BetaStar Plus was designed for the domestic market, and is a new version of its test used in approximately 40 countries. It can be used on the farm, tanker, or in the laboratory and gives clear results in five minutes, with one line of detection specifically for ceftiofur. Neogen also offers BetaStar Combo, a dairy antibiotic residue test for beta-lactam and tetracycline residues, as well as dairy industry rapid milk allergen tests, rapid foodborne pathogen and indicator organism tests, an unequaled sanitation monitoring ATP system, a full line of cleaners and disinfectants, rodenticides, and animal care instruments, including needles and syringes.
