ROSA Incubators for Milk Tests
Unique to Charm, ROSA incubators assure all Charm antibiotic, flunixin and aflatoxin M1 strips receive a fixed incubation temperature no matter what the operating/ ambient temperature. As temperature and angle of flow influences the “flow” in lateral flow (immuno-chromatographic) strips), Charm ROSA incubators have a distinct advantage over non-incubating strips, as ROSA incubators ensure that the flow is optimized with a fixed temperature and a level surface. This assures better line formation for visual interpretation and more accurate quantitation on the ROSA Pearl-X Reader.

• Dual Incubator: Run 1 to 2 tests at a time
• Quad Incubator: Run 1 to 4 tests at a time
• 2, 3, 8 or 15 minute preset incubation times
