Allergens

SENSIStrip lateral flow strips give a yes or no answer in minutes without laboratory equipment, which suits checks after cleaning and on incoming goods. SENSISpec ELISA kits are quantitative: they measure how much of the allergen is present, using a microplate reader, which suits product release and labelling decisions.

Almond, Brazil nut, buckwheat, cashew, coconut, crustaceans, egg (egg white, ovalbumin and lysozyme), fish, gluten, hazelnut, lupin, macadamia, milk (casein, beta-lactoglobulin and total milk protein), molluscs, mustard, peanut, pecan, pistachio, sesame, soy and walnut. SENSIStrip Multi Tree Nut screens for several tree nuts in one test.

Yes. SENSIStrip tests state detection limits for food, swabbed surfaces and rinse water. SENSISwab kits are designed and validated for use with both SENSIStrip strips and SENSISpec ELISA kits.

Add a known amount of the matching SENSISpec spike solution to a blank sample and measure how much the ELISA recovers. Allergen control materials confirm that a test run and its extraction were valid.

The strips are the same and share one set of instructions for use. The 5-test pack suits occasional testing or a trial before ordering in volume.

Yes. The RapidScan ST5 reader, fitted with the allergen adapter, reads lateral flow tests in the laboratory or on the production floor, from qualitative to fully quantitative results.
