Fast, Accurate, and Reliable Milk Testing Across the Dairy Supply Chain
In Australia’s dairy industry, quality and safety are non-negotiable. From the farm gate to the packaged milk you enjoy in your morning coffee, every drop must live up to stringent regulatory, food safety, and consumer trust benchmarks. That’s why having the right dairy testing kit in Australia is critical — and why Vendart Diagnostics is proud to offer world-class milk testing equipment that helps safeguard every step of the supply chain.
Why Dairy Testing Matters and Where Risks Lie
Antibiotic residues and chemical contaminants, even at trace levels, pose serious risks — not just to consumer health but also to processing efficiency, brand reputation, and trade compliance. Australia maintains strict standards: antibiotic residues must stay below legally defined Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) under the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (Food Standards Australia New Zealand).
The National Residue Survey (NRS) and the Australian Milk Residue Analysis (AMRA) program regularly monitor milk for residues and contaminants across the supply chain. Because even a single tanker testing positive can trigger milk rejection, recalls, and compliance penalties, dairy producers must employ reliable testing systems at every level — from farm to factory. That’s where Vendart’s dairy testing kits in Australia make all the difference.
Vendart’s Key Technologies: Rapid, Broad, and Strip-Based Solutions
IRIS Series – Rapid Tests for Antibiotic Residues
The IRIS line delivers quick and accurate antibiotic residue testing in just 6 minutes. Each self-contained unit features an incubator-reader with in-built optical sensors that eliminate operator error and ensure traceable documentation.
The latest version, IRIS3, goes a step further — it can analyse three raw milk samples simultaneously, improving efficiency for dairy farms, milk trucks, and processing facilities.
Technical Data:
Assay Temperature: ~40 °C
Connectivity: Bluetooth, USB, 4G / Wi-Fi
Matrix: Raw cow milk, raw goat milk
COMET Series – Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic Screening
The COMET devices perform deeper, more comprehensive testing, scanning over 50 families of antibiotics that can infiltrate milk at different points in production. With a 2.5-hour turnaround, COMET provides in-depth verification for dairy laboratories and processing plants.
Technical Data:
Assay Temperature: 63–65 °C
Connectivity: Bluetooth, USB, 4G / Wi-Fi
Matrix: Raw cow milk, raw goat milk, UHT milk
Dip & Read Test Strips – Quick Hygiene and Quality Checks
Vendart also provides an extensive range of dip-and-read test strips for fast on-site analysis of milk hygiene and sanitation parameters. These strips are simple to use and deliver dependable results within seconds.
Key test strips include:
QUANTOFIX® Peroxide 25 – Detects peroxide traces down to 0.5 mg/L; stable at room temperature and protected from false positives.
QUANTOFIX® Peracetic Acid 50 – Measures peracetic acid without interference from peroxide; ideal for disinfectant checks.
Phosphatesmo MI – Detects alkaline phosphatase for verifying pasteurisation efficiency (limit ≈ 300 U/L).
Peroxotesmo MI – Detects lactoperoxidase activity to confirm high-heat treatment (limit ≈ 3 % raw milk in UHT).
pH-Fix 2.0–9.0 – Quick and accurate pH measurement with a clear colour chart.
QUANTOFIX® Calcium – Determines calcium levels between 10–100 mg/L in milk.
QUANTOFIX® Chlorine Sensitive – Detects total chlorine traces down to 0.1 mg/L.
Udder Test Paper – A simple, on-farm indicator for mastitis detection.
WATOR – Assesses water distribution in buffer solutions for quality checks.
Each strip provides a fast, reliable, and user-friendly way to confirm milk integrity and hygiene.
