To answer the queries
1 The test kit is made by Vita and is for testing for EUROPEAN Foul Brood,
Vita also make one for testing for AMERICAN foul Brood.
The test is done by using a sample of a bee larva (up to 3 larvae may be
used) or scale from and infected cell.
I have demonstrated the AFB kit at the beekeeping course at Gormanston
,Ireland.
I have also used it in the field.
The kit is accurate and fast to work, results being available within 3
minutes.
2 It works for only one test.
Apart from Vita supplying me with the demonstration kits, I have no
connection with that firm
