Lovibond AF706 Resazurin Milk Test Kit — product documents
Official English PDF documents for the listed product models, covering features, technical specifications and configuration information.
View resource →Product overview
AF706 uses the colour change caused when bacteria reduce blue resazurin dye to provide a rapid visual indication of bacterial content in milk.
Key features
- An integrated prism brings the sample and comparison fields together for colour discrimination; ultrasonic sealing protects the optics.
- Calibrated glass standards represent discrete, colour-stable grades for direct sample matching.
- Resazurin colour is graded over 0–6 units in one-unit steps; this is a colour indication of milk quality, not a colony count.
- A Daylight 2000 lighting unit can be ordered separately for consistent viewing conditions.
