Assay for the positive identification of species content (ruminant) in meat and bone meals, animals feeds, and cooked and uncooked foods.
General Information
These assays are designed to detect porcine or ruminant muscle protein in meat and bone meals, as well as in animal feeds. These tests will detect porcine or bovine/ovine/caprine skeletal and cardiac muscle content in products processed at temperatures exceeding 133 °C and 3 bars of pressure (300 kPa) and can identify feeds containing banned tissues. These test kits are capable of detecting 1% meat and bone meal content in feeds (0.1% when using MELISA-TEK™ High Sensitivity Extraction Kit) and as little as 0.05% of meat species content in meat products.
