Automatic screening of more than 50 antibiotics in milk, in a single assay.
Eclipse Farm 4G & Comet4 is the first system on the market that allows to carry out an automatic antibiotic screening test and share the results in real-time. Just add a drop of milk into the test tube and Comet4 will automatically run the test in less than 2.5 hours. Regardless of where you are, you will receive the results on your smartphone, your cloud account or your email, always in real-time.
Comet32 performs the Eclipse 4G antibiotic screening assay automatically and interprets the results objectively. Just apply a drop of milk to the Eclipse test and Comet32 will incubate and stop the assay automatically; interpreting and saving the results in the device. Comet32 helps you to standardise the antibiotics assay and to manage samples, using four different sets (1-8 samples), individually or together.
The 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, 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.
- Scope: simultaneous detection of 50 antibiotics from 8 different families in milk (beta-lactams, tetracyclines, sulfonamides, macrolides, aminoglycosides, lincosamides, anasamycins and sulfones)
- Assay-time: 2h 30 minutes
- Manual assay: one-stage incubation at 63°C for approximately 2.5h and visual reading
- Combine with Zeulab incubator readers for automated workflow
