‘On site’ Allergen Test
Simple qualitative test kit for detecting Hazelnut in FOOD and environmental SWABS. Our RAPID 3-D™ test technology provides the reliability for real time decision-making.
The BIOKITS RAPID 3-D™ Hazelnut Test makes it simple to screen for the presence of low levels of Hazelnut in food products and environmental swabs virtually anywhere. Sample preparation and testing take less than 10 minutes, making it a useful “on-site” screening test for decision making. Each kit contains everything needed (including swabs) to perform 10 single use tests.
RAPID 3-D Technology
The
UNIQUE hand-held device with 3-line readout: a control line confirms the method has been performed successfully and two further lines differentiate low & high levels of detection.
Specificity:
No known cross reactivity with a range of Nuts, Seeds, Legumes, and Grains.
Has strong cross reactivity to Walnut (60ppm whole Walnut).
Detection Limit:
On validation the test detected down to 1 ppm in spiked matrices. Please note limit of detection will be matrix specific and validation is recommended for each sample type.
INTENDED USE
The test is intended to be used ONLY in a food manufacturing/industrial preparation context or for food labelling enforcement testing. It is NOT SUITABLE for the testing of foods consumed e.g. in the home or in a restaurant by allergic individuals.
