The European dairy market is expected to grow in the coming years, partly due to higher consumer awareness of the health benefits of dairy products. Efficient and accurate tests will enable companies to save time, resources and costs in the dairy industry in a growing market.

Aside from buying more dairy products, consumers are looking for more varieties. This has led to the emergence of a trend towards new flavor differences, including the addition of a wide variety of fruits and berries. The addition of these new substances also requires special food safety tests, such as pathogen and allergen tests, to adapt to changing legislation.

NEOGEN is aware of the dairy industry's challenges and future challenges and offers a comprehensive range of testing solutions to overcome them. These solutions include allergens, mycotoxins, organisms that spoil food and pathogens, as well as a hygiene monitoring system and laboratory services accredited by UKAS. In addition, our dedicated support and technical support teams provide assistance at every step of the testing process.

BetaStar® is a range of fast, easy-to-use and internationally validated tests that can be performed anywhere in just five to ten minutes, from farm or milk tanker to dairy processors. This range enables rapid detection of different classes of antibiotics in raw mixed, UHT, sterilized, frozen-thawed, reconstituted bovine milk, goat milk, sheep milk and mare milk at or below specified Maximum Residue Levels.

All BetaStar kits are read using NEOGEN's automated analysis platform Raptor® or Raptor Solo. BetaStar S and BetaStar S Combo tests can also be interpreted visually. The BetaStar brand we have can detect major classes of antibiotics.

With BetaStar and Raptor you can easily test and get reliable results quickly to ensure your end product is of antibiotic-free quality.
