The raw milk used in testing must be of high quality and adhere to the standards outlined in ISO 23758 Technical Guideline🔗. For goat or sheep raw milk analysis with Delvotest® T, we typically observe longer incubation times (c. 10~30 minutes extra, depending on composition specifications). To ensure consistency in test results, the following specifications apply.
