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.
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 lateral flow cassette, extraction tubes, an extraction buffer and quick guide instructions.
Fish Allergen
Fish allergy (finned fish) is more common in adults than in children with symptoms including inflammation of the skin through to anaphylactic shock. Fish proteins that trigger food allergy reactions have a high resistance to heat and stability against denaturing agents and proteolytic enzymes. For this reason, fish proteins represent an important food allergen which should be monitored in the food production.
The 3M™ Fish Protein Rapid Kits is a sensitive, ready to use lateral flow device for on-site routine testing for fish protein.
