Symmetric Florfenicol

The Symmetric Florfenicol is a Lateral Flow test for the detection of florfenicol in raw milk (cow, sheep, goat) and whey. The use of florfenicol is prohibited in animals that produce eggs or milk for human consumption.

GENERAL INFORMATION:Antibiotics are widely used for the treatment and prevention of various animal diseases, such as mastitis and other microbial infections. After treatment, antibiotic residues can remain biologically active and unaltered in the animal’s milk. The consumption of these residues poses significant risks, including allergic reactions, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, hepatotoxicity, and the development of antibiotic resistance. Florfenicol, a fluorinated analog of thiamphenicol, is a broad-spectrum synthetic antibiotic used in veterinary medicine to treat bacterial infections in livestock, aquaculture and poultry. Its use is strictly regulated, with Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) defined in Commission Regulation (EU) 37/2010 for various food producing species. MRLs have been established for muscle, skin/fat, liver and kidney tissues. However, the use of florfenicol is prohibited in animals that produce eggs or milk for human consumption.
