Cow's milk allergy is a common diagnosis in infants and children. It characteristically presents as an allergic reaction to the protein found in cow’s milk. Cow's milk allergy manifests as a variety of symptoms and signs which commonly develop in infants and can regress by the age of 6. It can be a source of parental and family stress due to a milk-free diet and can lead to a subsequent nutritional deficiency if not treated appropriately.
The current milk protein test kit is a 10min rapid test for the quick detection of bovine casein in rinse water, surface, etc. The detection limit is 2ug/ml (ppm). It can be used to monitor cow milk contamination in production, in food and rinse water.
Key facts of the bovine milk protein casein rapid test kit
- Ready to use kits for lab staff
