The Neogen® Fish Protein Rapid Kit (formerly 3M) is is intended for screening for the presence of fish proteins in clean-in-place (CIP) final rinse water, environmental swab samples, food ingredients and processed food products.
The Neogen® Fish 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 fish proteins.
Benefits
- Fish Protein Threshold: 1 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.
- 25 tests per box
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 fish protein is present in the range of concentrations from a lower level of 1 ppm.
This limit may vary depending on the matrix tested. The upper limit of detection has not been determined for specific fish species. samples containing high amounts of fish protein may result in an invalid test which will result in the absence of the hook line and/or test line.
