Technology Details
- Test can detect subclinical and clinical mastitis based on identified marker (s) in somatic cell within 6 min.
- Test is cost effective (Rs 5/ test), robust, reproducible, sensitive, selective with no false positive / negative results.
- Semi-quantitative test with information on somatic cell counts in milk.
- Test has been validated with reference Somatic cell counter with 100% correlation.
- Technology can be used for monitoring of mastitis in fresh raw milk samples from infected animals at dairy farm.
- Stability of strip is upto 6-8 months 4*C
- Strips can be manufactured within 30 min and require one incubator for assay running under field condition
