The recently launched 5171 PLUS Cow’s Milk ELISA Test has been validated by R-Biopharm Nederland B.V. in cooperation with the Dutch dairy company AVH Dairy Trade B.V. Thanks to this cooperation dairy industrial samples from different sources were available for the adjustment of the ELISA test. The background of this project between the two companies is described in a white paper.

Furthermore, this paper explains the principle of the test and gives answers to the most common questions raised from customers and leads in the dairy world. The 5171 PLUS Cow’s Milk ELISA detects cow’s milk in milk from other sources (like goat or sheep). This ELISA test can be used for heat treated products and is therefore applicable for milk powders.

R-Biopharm Nederland will launch an application for the use of this test in whey powders in the near future. For the validation of this application the cooperation with AVH is again very worthful.
