Mastatest handles the interpretation of test results for you, so you can focus on making the right treatment decision.
Each result from a clinical or high somatic cell count (subclinical) test will tell you if bacteria is present and what type of bacteria it is. Using the clinical cartridge, you will also get information on Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) for three antibiotics.
Results are uploaded to the cloud via the Lapbox and reported directly back to you in an email and within the online portal.
The science behind Mastatest
The Mastatest system captures color change phenomena with an electronic eye. This data is transmitted to the cloud, via the Lapbox, where analytical algorithms take over to interpret the results. This innovative method ensures you get accurate results every time.
The Mastatest system
The Mastatest system consists of cartridges, the Lapbox, and the Console.
