According to Larissa, the test was designed for practical use in establishments and inspection, eliminating the need to send samples to laboratories, which speeds up detection and increases food security.

The intention of this test is that it is operable by anyone, following the proportions and guidelines, anyone would be able to operate. I believe it would be another test to control the owner of the establishment to find out whether or not he receives that beverage loading, because his responsibility is to be selling, he has to ensure the quality of what he is selling and also to the inspection agency, because he has no need to send this sample to the laboratory. It can be analyzed on site.

The test has already undergone prevaluation according to Anvisa standards and now depends on business interest to become a commercial kit.

He was validated as a limit rehearsal, according to Anvisa’s guidelines. And now it would need some analytical kit company to build a portable kit to be able to market.
