Milk Safety & Rapid Testing
Define the checks your milk intake or quality-control workflow needs: antibiotic residues, aflatoxin M1, adulteration concerns and routine acidity measurements.
RAW MILK · SOMATIC CELL COUNTING
A clearer picture
of your milk.
SomaticScan counts somatic cells in raw cow and buffalo milk using fluorescence microscopy and automated image analysis. Bring SCC testing into your own routine.

WHAT YOUR MILK CAN TELL YOU
Milk can look normal.
The cell count may not be.
Somatic cells are mainly immune cells, together with cells shed from the udder. An elevated somatic cell count can signal udder inflammation, even when there are no visible changes in the milk.
Use SCC results to flag samples for follow-up, track changes and support discussions with your veterinarian or milk buyer.
Understand somatic cell countingSCC is an indicator. It does not identify the organism causing an infection or replace veterinary diagnosis.
FROM SAMPLE TO RESULT
A routine you can see.
A result you can use.
Prepare
Prepare the milk sample according to the operating instructions.
Load
Load the prepared sample according to the instrument operating instructions.
Count
The fluorescence microscope captures images. Software identifies and counts stained cells.
Review
Read the SCC result on the built-in display and print it for your records.
THE MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE
Count the stained cells.
Measure the sample directly.
Fluorescence microscopy makes stained cells visible to the imaging system. Automated image analysis converts the count into cells per millilitre.

sales@somaticscan.com ↗︎What does SomaticScan measure?
It measures the somatic cell count, expressed as cells per millilitre, in prepared samples of raw cow and buffalo milk. The Combo instrument also provides ultrasonic milk-composition analysis.
Does a high SCC result diagnose mastitis?
An elevated SCC indicates udder inflammation and supports mastitis screening. Interpret the result alongside sample history, clinical observations and veterinary advice. SCC does not identify the causative organism.
What does the instrument cost?
Ask for a quotation covering the instrument, shipping and any applicable taxes.
Can I see a demonstration before deciding?
Contact our team with your country and intended use to discuss the demonstration options available to you.
How do I become a distributor?
Send your country, company website and a short description of your sales and service capabilities. We will discuss market availability, product evaluation and the requirements for a partnership.
What SCC level should prompt follow-up?
For individual cow milk, 200,000 cells/mL is commonly used as a screening threshold. It is not a universal diagnostic cutoff. Bulk-tank results have a different interpretation. Follow veterinary guidance and the requirements relevant to your milk buyer and country.
