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.

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.
Almond (Prunus dulcis) belongs to the Rosaceae family (the same family as apples, pears, peaches, cherries, plums, and apricots). However, almond allergy is classified as a tree nut allergy.
Almond allergy can manifest with a variety of symptoms, ranging from mild oral allergic reactions or urticaria to severe, life-threatening systemic reactions, including anaphylaxis or bronchial asthma.
AlerTox Sticks Almond is a rapid immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of almond antigen in food products, kitchens, and food manufacturing facilities.
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.
Cow’s milk (Bos taurus) and dairy products are fundamental components of the human diet. Milk from other species such as goats, sheep, and buffalo is also a common source of milk for humans in certain geographical regions.
Milk allergy can manifest with a variety of symptoms, ranging from mild oral allergic reactions or skin rash to severe, life-threatening systemic reactions, namely anaphylaxis or bronchial asthma (IgE- or IgG-mediated). Milk protein allergy can be clinically distinguished from lactose intolerance caused by lactase deficiency.
Milk allergy is one of the most common food allergies, particularly in infants and young children, affecting 0.5%–5% of the population across different age groups and geographical regions.
AlerTox ELISA Casein is an ELISA kit for the detection of bovine milk casein (α, β, γ) in food products, kitchens, and food manufacturing facilities.
Soybean (Glycine max) is a legume belonging to the Fabaceae family (also known as Leguminosae), which includes beans, peas, green beans, alfalfa, and lupins.
Soy 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. Soybean is also one of the most frequently genetically modified crops and one of the least expensive sources of protein used in the food industry for food formulation and adulteration. The estimated prevalence of soy allergy is approximately 0.1%–0.2% across different populations, with most reported cases occurring in children.
AlerTox Sticks Soy PLUS is a rapid immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of soy antigen in food products, kitchens, and food manufacturing facilities.
Assay Time: 10 minutes.
Fish protein is 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 or even fatal reactions caused by mislabeled or undeclared fish-derived ingredients in food products. 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 ELISA Fish is a rapid immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of fish antigen in food products, kitchens, and food manufacturing facilities.
