Indonesia, a global leader in seafood production and exports, is intensifying its focus on product safety – especially in protecting consumers and safeguarding international trade. One critical element: monitoring for the banned substance Malachite Green (MG).

While traditional laboratory testing provides accurate results, it often suffers from delays, high costs, and limited reach — particularly for small and medium-sized farms and exporters. That’s why FSTest is proud to introduce its new generation lateral flow Rapid Test Kits for Malachite Green, designed to make on-site screening fast, affordable and accessible.

Key Benefits:

Ø Speed & convenience: No specialised equipment or expert training needed — results in as little as 10–15 minutes.

Ø Cost-effective: A fraction of the cost of full lab testing, enabling frequent “batch-by-batch” screening throughout the supply chain.

Ø Empowering the whole chain: Farmers, processors, exporters and regulators can all benefit from rapid self-checks, from pond to port.

What this means for Indonesia’s seafood industry:

Ø Exporters can reduce the risk of trade rejections due to residue violations and protect brand reputation.

Ø Farmers gain a practical self-inspection tool that supports production of export-quality seafood.

Ø The national aquaculture sector strengthens its safety “firewall,” enhancing the global competitiveness of “Made in Indonesia” seafood.

At FSTest, we believe safety should not depend on size or location. Our mission is to equip every stakeholder in Indonesian aquaculture with practical tools to safeguard product integrity and trade outcomes. Let’s work together for a safer, stronger aquaculture future.
