ECLIPSE 50 test kit
STABILITY AND STORAGE：
The kit components should be stored at 2-8 ºC in darkness. Kit keeps stability for months in optimal storage conditions.
FEATURE：
It is recommended to apply a negative control (antibiotic-free milk) and a positive control containing a high concentration of antibiotic (for example penicillin G 10 mg/L) for determining the optimal incubation time. If goat samples are analysed, the negative control must be goat´s milk, without inhibitors. It should be used a clean pipette tip for each sample.
This test is extremely sensitive to antibiotics and other antibacterial substances such as detergents and disinfectants. Any contamination with these substances should be prevented.
Plates should be kept closed in the plastic bag to avoid drying out of the wells and stored at 2-8ºC.
Natural inhibitors occurs in milk at low concentration which do not interfere with the test results, but inhibitor substances increase in colostrum, at the end of breeding period and in the case of mastitis. In those cases the results could be altered.
If samples containing preservatives are to be analysed, the time of incubation could be extended for some minutes.
