Description
Alkaline Phosphatase in Milk – ALP
Alkaline phosphatase in milk FOSFAMILK Test is a colorimetric assay based on a chemical reaction which develops between the Alkaline Phosphatase enzyme, naturally present in raw milk but absent after a correct pasteurization or UHT treatment, and a specific chromogenic substrate that allows to determine the presence of the enzyme in the sample.
The European Community commission established a residual ALP activity of 350 mU/L as the maximum acceptable level of this enzyme in correctly pasteurized/sterilized milk, according to CE 1664/2006 Regulation.
This kit has been designed for the accurate and specific determination of ALP in all kinds of milk and whey samples with a test sensitivity of 200 mU/L, without the need of micropipettes, spoons or additional chemicals or consumables, but only needing an incubator or waterbath at 37°C. FosfaMilk can also analyze cream and butter samples after a very easy pretreatment.
