ELISA Systems™ Almond Residue Detection Kit for Food Allergen Testing

The almond (Prunus dulcis L) belongs to a group of foods, commonly referred to as “tree nuts”. This group of foods is a significant source of allergens and almonds are a common cause of food allergy.
Use ELISA Systems Almond Detection Kit for the rapid detection and quantification of almond material in food and environmental samples.

• Fast: Sample preparation to result in under 60 minutes for rapid test turnaround and actions.
• Simple: Ready-to-use liquid reagents and concentrates, plus common handling procedure for all kits make ELISA Systems Assays easy to implement and run.
• Robust: Ready-to-use liquid controls and allergen-free non-control reagents mean reduced risk of cross contamination that could lead to false-positive results.
• Flexible: Use for qualitative or quantitative testing: a single kit for more applications.
• Sensitive: Detect proteins or protein residues (including heat stable proteins) at low levels for improved assurance of product safety.
• Supported: Our experienced technical team is ready to assist you and help mitigate delays in test reporting.

A sensitive and reliable test for the detection of almond in foods must be able to detect a heat stable protein component; otherwise false negative results could occur with samples that have been highly heat treated.
A specific heat-stable almond protein was identified and is used as the almond protein indicator for the ELISA Systems Almond Residue Detection kit. Results are expressed as ppm (mg/kg) almond protein.
All results should be interpreted as part of a HACCP plan for food allergens. Any sample returning a positive result should be regarded as a presumptive result and confirmation or further testing should be performed.
