This disposable test microfluidic chip is made of polystyrene and used for identifying if there is any bacterial growth in a milk sample taken from a dairy cow. With the use of reagents, the test chips can differentiate between Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. The package includes 10 pieces of BACT Gram NEG/POS test chips, 10 units of disposable pipettes and 10 unit of milk sample tubes. The test chips have 3-month shelf life. BACT Gram NEG/POS datasheet and Quick Guide BACT Gram can be downloaded.

The operation procedure is straightforward. A drop of milk is added to the opening on the test chip, which is then placed in the mini incubator. The pipette has an overflow function, which ensures the necessary amount of milk applied. The mini incubator controls the conditions around the test chip. After 16 hours, different colors in the result fields on BACT test chip will indicate ‘NO GROWTH’, ‘GRAM NEG’, or ‘GRAM POS’.
