Favorable review of PortaSCC on Dairy-L false true http://www.portacheck.com/newsroom.php?id=17 In February 2008, Professor Alvaro Garcia of South Dakota State University made the following entry in an online mastitis detector discussion:

"There's also another interesting device we have tested in the field (and if I'm not mistaken was tested also at the U of WI and Cornell University). The company is Portacheck and it consists in individual reading strips with a small "well" where you place one drop of milk and three drops of reagent. It allows one to read results in 45 minutes either using a colorimetric scale or a digital reader. We have found them quite reliable, easy to use, and inexpensive."
