AlerTox Sticks Crustacean is an immunochromatographic rapid test for the qualitative detection of crustacean antigen in food, kitchens and production facilities.

AlerTox Sticks are rapid tests for allergen detection in food, drinks, and on surfaces for internal Quality Control. They are designed specifically to help manufacturers keep their items free of antigens that may cause allergic reactions. These user-friendly tests are for the detection and qualification of main food allergens without the need for lab equipment or scientific knowledge.

They have industrial applications for allergen detection in food, food quality control, trace allergen contamination in food, liquid, and surfaces and implementation and fulfilment of HACCP, ISO 2200, BRC, and IFS compliance.

AlerTox Sticks Crustacean uses a combination of monoclonal antibodies against a major antigen found in crustacean muscle, tropomyosin, known as allergen Met e 1 of Metapenaeus ensis (shrimp), Cra c 1 of Crangon crangon (North Sea shrimp), and similar proteins of other species. The test is non-reactive to fish, mollusks, and all sorts of meats. The LOD (limit of detection) of AlerTox Sticks Custacean is 10 ppm of dried raw shrimp protein. The range of detection (ROD) is 10-10,000 ppm; above this range, the test can present a hook effect. The hook effect can appear as a negative result or a test line with reduced intensity. If a false negative due to hook effect is suspected, repeat the test on a diluted sample. If

PLEASE NOTE: AlerTox Sticks Crustacean is capable of detecting the antigens of phylum Arthropoda (insects, mites and spiders). Sensitivity to the cross-reactive antigens is substantially (100-1,000 times) lower than for shrimp and other crustaceans. However, AlerTox Sticks Crustacean can also be used for detection of cross-contamination of foods (for example grains or flour) by insects.

  • 10 immunochromatographic sticks individually packed in foil pouches
  • 10 sample collection tubes (tube with yellow cap)
  • 10 sample extraction buffer tubes, 10 mL (tube with blue cap)
