Eclipse4G & COMET32
Eclipse4G & COMET32
Automatic screening of more than 50 antibiotics in milk, in a single assay
TEST PRINCIPLE
ECLIPSE test is based on the growth inhibition of the Geobacillus stearothermophilus bacterium. In a specific culture medium and under suitable conditions, the spores of this bacterium germinate and multiply, acidifying the medium, and producing a colour change in the culture medium from blue to yellow. If the milk sample contains an antimicrobial concentration higher than the test detection limit, the bacterial growth is inhibited and therefore the colour change of the medium will not occur. When the Eclipse test is used in combination with Comet32, the colour change is monitored in real-time to measure the inhibition growth.
TECHNICAL DATA*Scope: simultaneous detection of 50 antibiotics from 8 different families in milk (beta-lactams, tetracyclines, sulfonamides, macrolides, aminoglycosides, lincosamides, anasamycins, and sulfones).
*Assay time: 2 h 30 minutes.
*Manual assay: one-stage incubation at 63°C for approximately 2.5h and visual reading.
*Results: Qualitative (neg/pos) and numerical results are displayed on the screen.
*Format: Plate: Individual assays from 1 to 31 samples per assay.
