Are you considering of doing allergen control but you do not know how to approach it?
Do you want to verify cleaning between productions when sharing production lines?
Do you have many products to analyse and you need results immediately or within a day?
Are you implementing IFS, BRC or ISO 22000 2005 quality standards?
Are your products thermally processed and this fact can affect the detection of fish?
The speed and simplicity of the Proteon Express tests allow adapting the allergen analysis to the time and place you need. Having specific information will allow us to make immediate decisions between productions, detect insufficient cleanings, control critical points of contamination and ensure the release of your product to the market without risk.
Immunochromatographic assay, in a fast strip format, based on the detection of tropomyosin of fish by a specific antibody in a non-competitive sandwich assay.
