Weber Scientific Phos-Kit
This method determines whether cream, milk or other dairy products are fully pasteurized. This is an accurate test based on the detection of the Phosphatase enzyme, a constituent of raw milk which is destroyed by pasteurizing at 145O F. for 30 minutes or at 161O F. for 15 seconds. These conditions also effectively destroy all pathogens. This test will detect remaining Phosphatase even in small quantities, indicating faulty pasteurization. Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) and American Public Health Association (APHA) approved. Since 2003 it is no longer recognized as an official test in the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO).
The heavy-duty molded plastic case features a die cut closed-cell foam interior designed to securely hold and protect all the components of the kit. Each component is visible in its own easily identifiable die cut slot for immediate accessibility. Closed-cell foam will not absorb water and is readily cleaned.
Includes the following:
1 removable 9-tube rack
9 graduated tubes complete with screw caps
set of 3 permanent color standards for the butyl alcohol technique
1 plastic filter sheet
4 glass stir rods
12 glass dropping pipettes complete with rubber bulbs
1 amber glass dropping bottle
1 amber glass bottle for 1 oz. butyl alcohol
1 50 mL graduated bottle
50 Buffer Control Tablets (SAME AS BUF-FAX TABLETS)
50 CQC Reagent Tablets (SAME AS INDO-PHAX TABLETS)
50 Buffer Substrate Tablets (SAME AS PHOS-PHAX TABLETS)
