Fast, Economic SCC Testing: Set your cites on the LactiCyte!
Providing rapid, reliable, accurate somatic cell counts for cow, goat, sheep and/or buffalo milk, the LactiCyte covers a wide range (from 0 to 10,000,000 SCC/mL) in a test time of less than sixty seconds! Based upon a fluorescent microscope technique and magnification approach to cell counting, the results are recorded by a charged-coupled device (CCD) camera digitalization of the actual cells. Typically, pricing is less than $1.00 per test!
The range for actionable outcomes can be customized by the User (i.e. "Warning Level", "Critical Level"). Correlation with the Direct Microscopic Somatic Cell Count (DMSCC) is impressive (5% for 100,000 SCC/mL, 3% for 400,000 SCC/mL, 2% for 600,000 SCC/mL)! As an enclosed system, maintenance requirements are minimal. Users can choose between a budget-priced quick test (16 pictures) using a four channel cartridge or a more precise test (36 pictures) using two channel cartridges. Options for more in-depth analysis are also available.
