Sample Preparation
Surface samples: Swab the test surface, activate the reagent, and incubate at 37°C for 30 minutes or 55°C for 15 minutes. Residual protein causes the reagent to change from green to purple; the darker the purple color, the higher the level of protein contamination.
Limit of Detection
3 µg protein on surfaces.
Sensitivity
Technology
Assay Time
15–30 minutes.
Result Type
Semi-quantitative color interpretation:
Storage Conditions
Store at 2–25°C.

Sesame is an herbaceous plant belonging to the Pedaliaceae family. The most common species are Sesamum indicum (white sesame) and Sesamum radiatum (black sesame).
Allergy to sesame seeds and sesame-derived products can manifest with a variety of symptoms, ranging from mild oral allergic reactions or urticaria to severe, life-threatening systemic reactions, namely anaphylaxis or bronchial asthma. Sesame allergy is estimated to affect 0.1%–0.9% of the population and is more common in Asian countries. Sensitive individuals may exhibit cross-reactivity with peanuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, rye, and poppy seeds.
AlerTox Sticks Sesame is a rapid immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of sesame antigen in food products and on environmental surfaces.
Assay Time: 10 minutes.
Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) is a legume belonging to the Fabaceae family (also known as Leguminosae), which includes beans, peas, green beans, alfalfa, and lupins.
Peanut allergy can manifest with a variety of symptoms, ranging from mild oral allergic reactions or urticaria to severe, life-threatening systemic reactions, namely anaphylaxis or bronchial asthma. Peanut-induced anaphylaxis is considered to have the highest fatality rate among all food allergies. Peanut allergy affects more than 0.5% of children in the general population.
AlerTox Sticks Peanut is an ELISA kit for the quantitative detection of peanut antigen in food products, kitchens, and food manufacturing facilities.

Mustard is a condiment made from the seeds of the mustard plant. Oriental mustard, also known as Chinese mustard or Jie Cai/Gai Choy (Sisymbrium orientale), is another member of the mustard family, as is wasabi (Eutrema japonicum).
Mustard allergy can manifest with a variety of symptoms, ranging from mild oral allergic reactions or urticaria to severe, life-threatening systemic reactions, namely anaphylaxis or bronchial asthma. Mustard allergy is one of the major food allergies in certain geographical regions, although no estimate of its global prevalence is available.
AlerTox Sticks Mustard Seeds is an ELISA kit for the quantitative detection of mustard antigen in food products and on environmental surfaces.
Fish protein is considered one of the major food allergens. Due to the increasing use of seafood in the food industry, consumers with fish allergies are at risk of severe reactions or even life-threatening events caused by fish-derived products that are mislabelled or undeclared. Fish allergy can manifest with a variety of symptoms, ranging from mild oral allergic reactions or urticaria to severe, life-threatening systemic reactions, namely anaphylaxis or bronchial asthma.
AlerTox Sticks Fish is a rapid immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of fish antigen in food products, kitchens, and food manufacturing facilities.
Assay Time: 10 minutes.
