Rapid Testing for Antibiotics in Milk

The Charm EZ® is a complete simultaneous incubator and analyzer system specifically designed for use with the new color coded Charm® lateral flow tests, Charm 3 and Charm ROSA® test strips. The Charm EZ system is equivalent to the ROSA Pearl reader and may be used with US-approved screening methods in compliance with NCIMS (refer to FDA M-I-13-2). Charm EZ system may be used in either a “read only” mode or an “incubate and read” mode. In a “read only” mode the test is performed in an external incubator and then read in the Charm EZ system. In the “incubate and read” mode the test is performed with the built in incubator and automatically monitored and read at the end of incubation. Results are interpreted based on a numerical scale and stored in the Charm EZ system memory. Data are displayed on the Charm EZ system screen, can be printed to an external printer and downloaded to a computer system in a real time or post analysis mode. EZ Export is required to download data to a computer.

The Charm EZ system American Test Configuration is programmed for performing NCIMS approved Charm methods. The tests supported are as follows:

Charm 3 SL3 Beta-lactam Test
Charm SL® Beta-lactam Test
Charm Flunixin and Beta-lactam Test
Charm SL Aflatoxin M1 Quantitative Test 0-500ppt
Charm Chloramphenicol Test
Charm Sulfa Test
Charm ROSA Tetracycline-SL (Dilution Confirmation) Test
Charm Streptomycin Test
Charm Quinolone Test
Charm TRIO® Test
