3M Clean-Trace™ Surface Protein Allergen

RAPID CLEANING VALIDATION

• Reduce the risk of a food safety incident — food residues could contain allergens and potentially contaminate allergen-free product
• Detects as little as 3μg of protein on surfaces and in solution
• Validated for a range of allergenic proteins, including egg, milk, gluten, soy and peanut
• Visual reading of a colour change indicates the presence of detectable levels of protein
• Fast results allow immediate corrective action
• Can be integrated into your Allergen Management Program — risk areas can be monitored for cleaning effectiveness
• As an additional benefit, it can help to reduce the risk of bacterial contamination — food residues on surfaces provide nutrients for spoilage or pathogenic bacteria to thrive

3M Clean-Trace Surface Protein (Allergen) is a simple method of checking for removal of protein residues after cleaning. Simply swab your surface, activate the swab, shake to mix with the reagent and incubate at 55^oC for 15 minutes. Read the colour and compare to the chart on the side of the tube for your result. As  the majority of allergens are proteins, if a surface is found to be protein-free, it is also free of protein-based allergens.
