Alkaline phosphatase test for pasteurised milks and creams

Approved method for milk pasteurization testing

Most sensitive and accurate method

Alkaline Phosphatase Test

The FLM300 ensures milk is correctly pasteurised using the Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) test. ALP is a harmless, naturally occurring enzyme found in all raw milk that is inactivated at temperatures slightly above those that are required to destroy dairy pathogenic micro-organisms. Alkaline phosphatase is a required milk pasteurization test that determines if milk or cream products have been correctly pasteurised by heating to the correct temperature and that no raw milk contamination has taken place. This has been the industry standard for over 25 years.

Pasteurisation Verification

Pasteurisation verification is a CCP within all dairies producing pasteurized products and the Fluorophos is the most reliable and sensitive pasteurisation test available, giving you the greatest confidence in your process and product releases. With a very easy test protocol and an automated 3 minute test, the operator only needs to add the sample to the reagent and press start to get an accurate result.

Fluorophos ALP

The Advanced Instruments Fluorophos ALP milk pasteurization test system offers the most sensitive milk and cream pasteurisation verification test available and is the most trusted method across the world and is the only method that is a fully recognised reference method. The quantitative Fluorophos ALP test system permits the continuous and direct measurement of the released reaction product from a fluorogenic substrate. The use of this fluorometric method eliminates the interferences and non-specificity encountered in colorimetric assays, and avoids the need for dialysis, butanol extraction, or protein precipitation.

Greatest Sensitivity
The Fluorophos ALP test detects as little as 0.003% raw milk contamination, making it many times more sensitive than any other method. The Fluorometer actually exceeds the FDA and EU ALP detection criteria.

Highest Specificity
The high level specificity of the Fluorophos ALP test eliminates false positives, whilst colour or fat content variations in cheese and flavoured products will not affect test results.

Fast and Accurate Results
Pasteurization test results automatically appear in approximately 3 minutes on the digital display. With one system you can test both cheese and other dairy products made from fluid milk.
