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.
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.
Cow’s milk (Bos taurus) and dairy products are a fundamental source of human nutrition. Milk from other species, such as goats, sheep, and buffalo, is also a common source of milk for human consumption in certain geographical regions.
Milk allergy can manifest with a variety of symptoms, ranging from mild oral allergic reactions or skin rashes to severe, life-threatening systemic reactions, namely anaphylaxis or bronchial asthma (IgE- or IgG-mediated responses).
Milk protein allergy can be clinically distinguished from lactose intolerance, which is caused by lactase enzyme deficiency.
Milk allergy is one of the most common food allergies, particularly among infants and young children, affecting 0.5%–5% of the population across different age groups and geographical regions.
AlerTox Beta-Lactoglobulin is a rapid test kit for the quantitative detection of BLG antigen in food products, kitchens, and food manufacturing facilities.
Assay Time: 10 minutes.
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.
