Romer Labs has launched Agraquant allergen Elisa test kits that detect food allergens in a range of processed foods and raw materials.
A food allergy is typically an immune system response to a protein present in food that the body mistakenly believes is harmful.
Even minor exposure to a food allergen in the nanogram range can cause symptoms from mild skin rashes to a fatal anaphylactic shock.
Cross contamination during the production process often occurs so that residues of food allergens in different products may be present.
Testing with the Agraquant allergen Elisa test kits ensure safe food and contribute to consumer protection.
The test kits include all ready-to-use reagents.
