[QUOTE="sjt01, post: 8174405, member: 30726"] Our EHO gets us to send pasteurised milk samples on a monthly basis to Porton Down for alkaline phosphatase test. When preparing samples for this it is important to get the cooling of the sample done correctly, maintain a cool chain to the lab which must be reached in a limited time span. The enzyme which is tested for will regenerate over time, and we have had occasional "fails" when the sample has not been analysed in time (despite the logs showing it was received on time). We have driven samples to Meadow Foods in Peterborough who do this test on a routine basis for their own products, and despite failing the EHO test it has passed easily at Meadow Foods. We are very grateful to them, as they have no method for charging for the test so did it free of charge. Our EHO will only accept government labs. There used to be one in Norwich, which closed so samples went to Colindale, which closed and left only Porton Down or York. The EHO organises a collection of milk and cheese samples from over North Norfolk from a central yoghurt maker, and couriers them to Porton. [/QUOTE]
