Instructions

Description

The Devotes® Milk Controls are lyophilized samples of commingled milk (cow, goat or ewe). The Devotes® Milk Controls can be used for checking and monitoring the performance parameters of standard diffusion tests for the detection of residues of antibacterial substances in milk.

Remarks

  • Be careful not to contaminate this product with substances like antibiotics, other drugs, cleaning agents or disinfectants.
  • Clean hands, bench etc. with soap and rinse extensively with tap water.

Preparation

  • Tear off the aluminum seal of the bottle. Carefully remove the stopper from the bottle and place it upside down on the bench.
  • Add 15 ml (± 0.5 ml) of distilled or demineralized water to the bottle with a clean pipette.
  • Replace the stopper. Hold the stopper in place and gently mix the contents by inverting the bottle twenty times.

Avoid foaming. Make sure that a homogeneous solution is obtained. Otherwise proceed with the mixing till all particles are dispersed.
Allow the contents to equilibrate at room temperature for 20 minutes and remix gently.

Storage

  • Store bottles between 2 – 8°C.
  • Keep reconstituted Controls at 2 – 8°C (or on ice) between uses, and use only on the day of reconstitution.
  • Reconstituted Controls may be portioned out into small volumes and frozen for later use as follows:

Use clean vials of appropriate size. Label vials with the batch number and date of preparation. Reconstitute as described above and without delay pipette the required amount (e.g. 2 ml) into vials, close the vials tightly and place vials directly in a freezer of -18°C. Use within 2 months.
On the day of use, thaw the sample by putting the closed vial for a short time in lukewarm water and mix the contents. Thawed samples may be used on the same day only, if kept at 2 – 8°C (or on ice).
Shelf-life
The cow milk controls have a shelf life of 5 years, goat and ewe milk controls have a shelf life of 1 year, under the recommended storage conditions of 2-8°C, protected from light.
