Abstract:
The present invention relates to a simple and easy-to-use method for the rapid determination of the presence of an antibiotic in a waste such as e.g. liquid or solid waste streams from plants. The present invention also relates to a kit comprising an as say and a manual for the rapid determination of the presence of an antibiotic in a waste.

Claim (Index 10):
A method for determining the concentration of an antibiotic in a lactose-free sample that is essentially lactose-free and/or contains less than 0.01% (w/w) of lactose comprising the steps of:\n (a) preparing a dilution range of said lactose-free sample by the addition of milk; (b) contacting each dilution obtained in step (a) with an assay medium comprising a microorganism, a nutrient and an indicator capable of detecting growth or inhibition of the microorganism to obtain a mixture; (c) incubating each mixture obtained in step (b) for a period of time sufficient to grow the microorganism in case no antibiotic is present in the sample; (d) detecting growth or inhibition of growth of the microorganism with the indicator; (e) determining the dilution with the highest dilution factor capable of inhibiting the growth of the microorganism; (f) determining the concentration of the antibiotic in the dilution determined in step (e), and (g) determining the concentration of the antibiotic in said lactose-free sample by multiplying the concentration determined in step (f) with the dilution factor determined in step (e) used to make the dilution.
