Full Read lets you record the test lot ID, tech ID, and sample ID, and it
provides on-screen and printed test results. Use the Full Read mode if
you are testing under NCIMS guidelines. For guidelines, please refer to
New SNAP* Beta-Lactam 2400 Form (Appendix N), available in the
Regulatory section of the Resource Library at idexx.com/dairy.

The next screen requires you to enter the lot ID, the tech ID, and the

After the test has been read, the screen displays the test type, time,
date, lot ID, tech ID, sample ID, results ratio, and negative or positive
result. This information is also printed.
Note: A results ratio of ≤1.05 is negative; a ratio of ≥1.06 is positive.

prefilled with the lot ID and the tech ID that you entered for the
previous test. Tap the Sample ID text field to enter the number for the
