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.
Romer Labs offers a complete portfolio of allergen
test kits for the qualitative (AgraStrip®) and quantitative (AgraQuant®)
analysis of food allergens. These tests can be used for different applications,
and cover all steps in the food production process:
- Testing of raw materials and finished food samples
- Analysis of rinse waters (as part of cleaning validation)
- Detection of allergens in environmental swab samples
Both the AgraStrip and AgraQuant kits can be easily implemented
into routine analysis as part of an allergen management plan within a
HACCP concept.
