Colistin Rapid Test Kit
This colistin rapid test kit is a 10min rapid test to detect colistin in milk, meat, egg, etc. It is fast, sensitive and accurate.
Colistin, also known as polymyxin E, is an antibiotic medication used as a last-resort treatment for multidrug-resistant Gram-negative infections including pneumonia. These may involve bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, or Acinetobacter.
Colistin is a decades-old drug that fell out of favor in human medicine due to its kidney toxicity, which is effective against most Gram-negative bacilli. The detection limit of this colistin rapid test kit can meet both European and USA MRLs when use properly.
