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.
Egg proteins are considered one of the major food allergens.
Egg allergy can cause severe and even life-threatening immune reactions, including anaphylaxis, acute bronchial asthma, severe atopic dermatitis, and gastroenteritis. Eggs are widely used in food products such as ice cream, noodles, pasta, sauces, and wine. Trace amounts of egg proteins may remain on food-contact surfaces used during food processing. Furthermore, some vaccines may contain small amounts of egg proteins, posing a potential risk to individuals with egg allergy.
AlerTox ELISA Egg is an ELISA kit for the quantitative detection of egg antigen in food products, kitchens, and food manufacturing facilities.
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.
Crustaceans are among the most commonly consumed types of seafood; in some countries, crustaceans and their derived products represent an important part of daily consumption. Crustacean 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. Crustacean allergy is among the top 10 food allergies in some geographical regions, although there is no global prevalence estimate available. Consumption of crustaceans is prohibited by certain religions.
AlerTox® Sticks Crustacean is a rapid test kit for the quantitative detection of crustacean 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. Anaphylaxis caused by peanuts 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 a rapid immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of peanut antigen in food products and on environmental surfaces.
Assay Time: 10 minutes.
