One-Step Drug Residue Test for Live Animals

Meatsafe™ b-Lactam is a drug residue screening test for live animals.  It is intended for use on fresh urine from cattle which have been treated with any of the following drugs:

Amoxicillin   Ampicillin   Cloxacillin   Hetacillin   Penicillin G

Meatsafe b-Lactam identifies animals which no longer have dangerous levels of drug residues in their tissues. In trials performed by Silver Lake Research Corporation, Meatsafe b-Lactam reliably predicted which animals will pass the tissue residue tests performed by the Food Safety Inspection Service.

Meatsafe b-Lactam is a rapid screening test.  Results may be confirmed with approved tissue residue test to certify edible tissue as residue-free.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Tests must be stored and used at 50-86oF (10-30oC).  Do not open sealed test pouch until immediately prior to use -- exposure to air damages unused tests.  Each pouch contains one test and one dropper pipette.  Do not re-use either the test or the dropper pipette.  Do not use tests after the expiration date on the package.

1.  Collect urine into a clean container or directly into dropper pipette.

2.  Hold test in a horizontal position.  Using the dropper pipette, dispense four (4) drops of urine into the sample well.

3.  Wait 10 minutes.  One or two blue lines will appear in the result window.  If no lines appear, or both lines are very faint, the test is not valid.  In borderline samples, tests which are negative after 10 minutes may appear positive after 15 minutes or more.  These samples should be considered negative.

4.  Read result:

If Line 1 is DARKER than Line 2, the sample is NEGATIVE.

If Line 1 is THE SAME OR LIGHTER than Line 2, the sample is POSITIVE.  This animal may have illegal levels of drug residue in its tissues.

5.  Tests may be kept for up to two months as a record.  Note:  In borderline samples, negative tests may appear positive after storage.
