The FSTest β-Lactams + Tetracyclines + Sulfonamides + Aflatoxin M1 4-in-1 Rapid Test Strip (CatNO: 11113) is an advanced, industrial-grade multiplex screening tool engineered for the simultaneous, independent detection of four major high-risk chemical contaminant categories in dairy products: Beta-Lactams, Tetracyclines, Sulfonamides, and Aflatoxin M1.
Antibiotic residues and dangerous mycotoxins pose severe public health concerns and are subject to stringent Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) globally. By consolidating four distinct biochemical screenings into a single, straightforward assay loop, this kit eliminates the necessity for complex multiple extraction protocols or separate ELISA microplate platforms. It compresses essential multi-residue milk verification into a simplified, field-ready ambient workflow for dairy farms, raw milk collection stations, pasteurization plants, and QA laboratories.
High-Speed Quad-Multiplex Screening: Maps out a comprehensive safety profile spanning four major contaminant groups in a single test sequence with visual results in just 7 minutes.
Ultra-High Sensitivity Thresholds: Calibrated to meet or surpass rigid regulatory cutoffs: Aflatoxin M1 down to 0.05 µg/kg, Sulfonamides down to 2–4 µg/kg, Tetracyclines down to 5 µg/kg, and Beta-Lactams down to 2–4 µg/kg.
Extensive Dairy Matrix Adaptability: Formulated for multi-matrix sample validation, providing reliable results for raw milk, pasteurized liquid milk, and reconstituted milk powder.
Zero-Ambiguity Visual Layout: Features four separate invisible Test lines (T1: Aflatoxin M1, T2: Sulfonamides, T3: Tetracyclines, T4: Beta-Lactams) paired with an integrated internal Control (C) line for clear reading.
Heavy-Duty Commercial Specification: Supplied in a bulk 96-test pack (96 test strips and 96 dry-reagent precoated microwells) optimized for high-throughput batch auditing.
Institutional Shelf-Life Flexibility: Offers a full 24-month sealed storage lifespan (2–8°C) with an advanced ambient tolerance profile permitting room-temperature transport up to 30 days.

Extensively validated for multi-matrix dairy applications across the supply chain:
STEP 1 Sample Prep Equilibrate milk to 20–40°C. For powder, mix 1 g powder in 9 mL distilled water. Take out strips/wells and re-cap vial immediately. | STEP 2 Mix & Incubate Pipette 150 µL milk into precoated microwell. Mix thoroughly by repeated pipetting and incubate for 3 min (at room temp if ≥ 20°C, or set incubator at 40°C). | STEP 3 Insert Strip Insert test strip with loading end facing down into microwell. Start timing immediately for lateral flow reaction. | STEP 4 Read at 7 Mins Read visual lines strictly at 7 minutes. Results become invalid after 10 minutes due to post-reaction chemical shifts. |
Negative (-): Control (C) and all four Test lines (T1, T2, T3, T4) show strong, distinct red bands matching or darker than C-line. (All 4 groups below cutoff).
T1 Positive (+): T1 line is visibly lighter than C-line or disappears completely → Aflatoxin M1 residue ≥ 0.05 µg/kg.
T2 Positive (+): T2 line is visibly lighter than C-line or disappears → Sulfonamides residue ≥ threshold limit.
T3 Positive (+): T3 line is visibly lighter than C-line or disappears → Tetracyclines residue ≥ 5 µg/kg.
T4 Positive (+): T4 line is visibly lighter than C-line or disappears → Beta-Lactams residue ≥ threshold limit.
Multiplex Positive (+): Multiple faded or absent T-lines indicate co-existing multi-contaminant residues.
Invalid: Control (C) line fails to develop a visible color band. Re-testing with a new strip is required.
Adhere to strict operational parameters to ensure maximum screening accuracy:
Qualitative Screening Purpose: Engineered strictly for rapid qualitative prescreening and preliminary field audits. Confirmatory laboratory testing is recommended if necessary.
Air Exposure Window: Initiate test within 30 minutes after pulling strips from protective vial to prevent moisture damage.
Meticulous Pipetting: Thoroughly resuspend dry microwell reagents via repeated fluidic pipetting; improper mixing impairs line color development.
Environmental Limits: Maintain operating relative humidity at 30%–80%. Avoid wind currents and testing above 40°C. Do not touch central white membrane area.
Dairy Portable Incubator Block (40°C): Constant temperature incubator block for standardized testing when ambient temperature is below 20°C.
