I have the tech reports from Jerry Hayes, regarding Vita test kits. They've about as good as it gets.
I can note that there's a learning curve as to how to properly use the kits. You need to shake the ell out of the sample to properly homogenize it. It's a miniature ball mill, needs to be used as one. And you need to sample cells that have visible signs of foul brood.
