Our unique cartridge

The Mastatest cartridge is a unique, patent-protected, approach for on-farm milk culturing. Simply fill, tip off the excess, and close the lid. Easy!

Each cartridge has 24 independent wells, pre-loaded with all of the reagents needed to test for multiple bacterial types, and for sensitivity to antibiotics.

When a milk sample is poured on, the wells let just the right amount of milk in. Excess can simply be poured away. No fuss, no mess, and it takes just seconds to complete.
