Step 2
Add an equal amount of CMT solution to each cup in the paddle.

Step 4
Read the test quickly. Most accurate results are between 10 and 20 seconds after applying the CMT test liquid.
Visible reaction disintegrates after about 20 seconds.
The more gel formation, the higher the infection rate. From The color and texture of the resulting gel mixture you can deduce the possible inflammation of the udder quarter.
if no change in viscosity, then the milk has low amount of somatic cells. The higher the cell count, the thicker the solution will become.
After use, empty the CMT Paddle and rinse well with clean water.
