The Neogen® Egg White Protein Rapid Kit (formerly 3M) is is intended for screening for the presence of egg white proteins in clean-in-place (CIP) final rinse water, environmental swab samples, food ingredients and processed food products. The Neogen® Egg White Protein Rapid Kit (formerly 3M) utilises a lateral flow device (LFD) that is an immunochromatographic test method utilising antibodies which are specific for the detection of egg white proteins.
Benefits
- Egg White Protein Threshold: 0.5 ppm
- Results visible at 11 ± 1 minute after application of the sample.
- Rapid, qualitative immunochromatographic lateral flow test cartridges designed for the detection of allergenic food proteins.
- Designed to detect both processed and unprocessed allergen proteins.
- Test can accommodate environmental swab, CIP rinse water and food samples.
Neogen® s signature hook line feature can alert you to a possible false negative due to high amounts of the target protein in a sample. This feature can increase confidence in your allergen testing results.
Positive results are visualised by the presence of three lines: a control line, a hook line and a test line, when the egg white protein is present in the range of concentrations from a lower level of 0.5 ppm and a higher level of approximately 10 mg/mL of egg white protein in saline solution (0.9% sodium chloride).
These limits may vary depending on the matrix tested. samples containing more than 10% of egg white may result in an invalid test which will result in the absence of the hook line and/or test line.
