CHIMERTECH CALIFORNIA MASTITIS TEST KIT

• The California Mastitis Test (CMT) is a diagnostic tool designed to aid in the quick and simple diagnosis of mastitis in various animals, including cows, buffaloes, sheep, goats, donkeys, and camels. It operates as a cow-side indicator of the somatic cell count of milk, helping farmers and veterinarians detect subclinical cases of mastitis and manage udder health effectively.
• The CMT kit contains a reagent, which reacts with the DNA of cells present in milk samples. This reaction forms a gel, and the severity of the gel formation is scored. A scores indicates a result, signifying the presence of mastitis.
• MODE OF ACTION:
• The CMT operates by disrupting the cell membrane of somatic cells present in the milk sample. This allows the DNA in those cells to react with the test reagent, resulting in the formation of a gel. The severity of gel formation is scored to determine the presence and severity of mastitis.
• ANIMALS:
• Cow, Buffalo, sheep, goat, donkey and camels
