Oxoid has announced it will sell the Elisa Systems food allergen tests kits alongside its own range.
The Elisa Systems tests can detect allergens in raw materials, finished products and environmental swabs.
Products in the range include tests for almond, buckwheat, crustaceans, egg, gliadin (or gluten, the protein found in wheat), hazelnut, milk (separate tests for casein and beta-lactoglobulin), mustard, peanut, sesame and soy.
The simple extraction process of the Elisa Systems tests minimises the sample preparation time and is common across the range.
All critical test-reagents come in a ready to use liquid format and are presented in colour-coded bottles - speeding up and simplifying the tests.
