DSM Launches Novel Testing Solution for Dairies

This latest addition to DSM’s range of dairy testing systems means the company now offers a complete portfolio of products for the safest and most efficient detection of food contaminants in dairy applications.

22 Sep 2009 --- DSM Food Specialties has unveiled its latest innovation – the BR-Test Accelerator , a fully-automated milk testing system specifically designed to comply with official screening regulations in Germany and Austria. Thanks to breakthrough technology the BR-Test Accelerator offers milk control stations and dairy laboratories a flexible system which delivers accurate, reliable and consistent results every time.

The BR-Test Accelerator detects antibiotic residues in milk in accordance with local testing procedures. It works by incubating and reading the samples at the same time. Specialised software then evaluates the test results automatically to ensure more accurate results are obtained than through examination by the human eye. Digital results are sent directly to the database, facilitating analysis and high throughput. And, for added flexibility, the system can be used with both Delvotest and BR-Test, for complete compliance with all screening methods in the region.

“Our customers are increasingly looking for automated systems to respond to today’s stringent milk testing regulations,” commented Myléne Caussette, Product Manager Tests, DSM Food Specialties. “The BR-Test Accelerator meets these requirements and delivers important benefits in terms of improved efficiencies, accuracy and flexibility.

“Ensuring milk is free from contaminants before it reaches the consumer is crucial. By using our new BR–Test Accelerator, dairy laboratories and milk control stations can be confident they will obtain consistent, accurate results every time. And, as the system is fully automated, requiring minimal manual handling, users are free to check BR–Test Accelerator at their convenience. This means they can complete other tasks while the samples are screened, resulting in important time savings and efficiencies.”
