Beta lactams have been widely used in veterinary medicine for more than 30 years. The beta lactams are one of the most frequently used families of antibiotics in milk producing cattle and residues in milk may present a potential health risk.
Randox Food Diagnostics provide a pioneering multi-analyte testing platform that detects a group of beta-lactams from a single sample of milk.
