LabMastis® Product Line
Rapid On-Farm Test : Detecting Gram-Positive Contaminated Milk, with Identification of Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus uberis.
Fast and Reliable
Ensuring Accuracy and Speed in Pathogen Detection for Mastitis.
LabMastis® Plus is an innovative on-farm diagnostic kit designed for dairy farmers and veterinarians. The quick, step-by-step test rapidly detects Gram-positive bacteria in milk. If positive, it instantly identifies whether the pathogen is Staphylococcus or Streptococcus, pinpointing the common culprits of bovine mastitis (S. aureus or S. uberis).
Thanks to its easy-to-use colorimetric and strip test, results are available within a few hours – right at the farm. No lab equipment needed.
.
Advanced differentiation
Once the presence of Gram-positive bacteria is confirmed, LabMastis® Plus goes one step further.
Where market products stop at detecting the presence of Gram-positive bacteria, LabMastis® Plus goes further by identifying within minutes whether the pathogen is one of the most dangerous or not.
- Benefits for farmers and veterinarians
- Reduce unnecessary treatments and costs
- Improve animal welfare and milk quantity & quality
- Contribute to responsible antibiotic use
- Gain confidence in the herd health decisions
How it works (Protocol overview)
- 1. Take few drops of milk into LabMastis medium
- 2. Incubate at 37°C, Color readable from 8h
- Best between 14h-20h of incubation
- At the color change = GRAM-POSITIVE detected
- 3. Insert the test strip into the tube
- 1 strip for Staphylococcus aureus
- 1 strip for Streptococcus uberis
- 4. Leave it 10 to 30 minutes and read result
- 2 lines (control+test) = PATHOGEN identified
SPECIFICITY
A huge BioBank of Phages
The specificity of each test is attributed to the unique capture proteins, which are tailored to detect specific strains or families of bacterial strains. Since 2017, VETOPHAGE has been developing a diverse phage bank, characterizing thousands of phage proteins capable of either identifying (capture proteins) or killing (endolysins) specific bacteria.
