Fast and Reliable Test Kits for Food Allergen Detection

Using reliable test kits for the detection and quantitation of trace levels of food allergens is critical for food producers to protect both their brand and their consumers. For certain individuals in the community, the consumption of food allergens can trigger an anaphylactic reaction.

5 Fundamentals of Allergen Analysis:

1) Allergen sources and allergen load

2) Risk-based sampling

3) Choosing the appropriate method of analysis 

4) Matrix effects during allergen analysis 

5) Make it easier to keep your plant clean

AgraStrip^® Pro Allergen Lateral Flow Device (LFD) kits are fast and simple to use. After an extraction of 1 minute, the sample is transferred to an incubation vial containing allergen-specific antibodies. The formation of allergen-antibody complexes is then detected on the test strips, where it is visualised as a colour line.
