3M™ Pistachio Protein Rapid Kit

DETECTION OF PISTACHIO ALLERGEN IN FOOD, RINSE WATERS AND SWABS 

The 3M^TM Pistachio Protein Rapid Kit is a sensitive, ready to use lateral flow device for on-site routine testing for pistachio proteins.

Allergens can be detected at any stage of the production process from ingredient testing through to finished product analysis. The lateral flow device provides hygiene test result within 11 minutes, enabling corrective actions to be implemented quickly when required.

• One step extraction 
• Results in 11 minutes
• Hook Line - avoids false negatives
• Long shelf life – 2 years from manufacture

The Hook Test Advantage

The hook effect or prozone effect is well-recognised immunologic phenomenon where the effectiveness of antibody based assays can impaired when there are high concentration of the target allergen. This can produce false negative results for highly contaminated samples that pose a high risk to allergy sufferers. The 3M Allergen kits have an additional Hook Line detection system in their strips to identify this problem, providing great confidence and security in your allergen reporting.  

 Each test kit comes complete with strips, extraction tubes, an extraction buffer and quick quide instructions.

Pistachio Allergen

Pistachio (Pistacia vera) belongs to the family Anacardiaceae. Pistachio nuts are used throughout the food manufacturing industry as an ingredient for products such as bakery and cereal items. Pistachios contain a high level of proteins, which can trigger allergic reactions including anaphylaxis in some people. The proteins are heat stable, making them resistant to production processes and therefore retaining their allergenic potency. This highlights the importance of sensitive detection systems for this allergen. The 3M™ Pistachio Protein Rapid Kit is a valuable tool to help prevent the release of contaminated product.
