The Neogen® Gluten Protein Rapid Kit (formerly 3M) is is intended for screening for the presence of gluten proteins in clean-in-place (CIP) final rinse water, environmental swab samples, food ingredients and processed food products.
The Neogen® Gluten Protein Rapid Kit (formerly 3M) utilises a lateral flow device (LFD) that is an immunochromatographic test method utilising a poly-clonal antibody which is specific for the detection of gliadin in Wheat, Rye (secalins) and Barley (hordeins) proteins and has shown to have no cross-reactivity with other cultivars including Oats (avenins).
Benefits
- Gluten Protein Threshold: 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.
- 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 two lines; the test line and the control line, when gluten protein is present at or above 5 ppm for food raw ingredients, processed food products and CIP or rinse water solution, and at above 5 g/mL per 100 cm2 for surfaces. These limits may vary depending on the matrix.
The dynamic range of the Neogen® Gluten Protein Rapid Kit (formerly 3M) is has been shown to be 2.5 ppm and >100,000 ppm. The upper limit of detection has not been reached even when testing pure toxic grains.
