Thermo Scientific™ ELISA Systems™ Egg Residue Detection Enhanced Kit for Food Allergen Testing

Description

Simplify allergen testing to ensure compliance with food product labeling requirements with ELISA Systems™ Egg Residue Detection Enhanced Kit. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is designed to deliver simple, sensitive and fast detection and quantification of egg residue in food and environmental samples. This enhanced, ready-to-use kit is developed and optimized to specifically detect heat stable Ovomucoid egg protein in order to avoid false negative results in high heat treated samples.

Hen’s egg is one of the more frequent causes of food hypersensitivity in infants and young children.^{1, 2}

Use ELISA Systems Egg Residue Detection Enhanced Kit for the rapid detection and quantification of egg residue material in food and environmental samples. The Enhanced Kit is designed to detect lower concentrations of heat stable egg white allergen, Ovomucoid, than the Egg Residue Detection Kit and is less susceptible to underestimation caused by cooking.

• Fast: Sample preparation to result in under 60 minutes for rapid test turnaround and actions
• Simple: Ready-to-use liquid reagents and concentrates, plus common handling procedure for all kits, make ELISA Systems Assays easy to implement and run
• Robust: Ready-to-use liquid controls and allergen-free non-control reagents mean reduced risk of cross contamination that could lead to false-positive results
• Flexible: Use for qualitative or quantitative testing—a single kit for more applications
• Sensitive: Detect proteins or protein residues, including heat stable proteins, at low levels for improved assurance of product safety
• Supported: Our experienced technical team is ready to assist you and help mitigate delays in test reporting

Ovomucoid is known to be one of the main allergens in egg white and appears to be allergenic in minute quantities³. Because of its allergenic and heat-stable properties, Ovomucoid was chosen as the indicator protein for the ELISA Systems Egg Residue Detection Enhanced Kit. The kit standards are made from egg powder, and the results are expressed as ppm (mg/kg) egg powder.

All results should be interpreted as part of a HACCP plan for food allergens. Any sample returning a positive result should be regarded as a presumptive result, and confirmation or further testing should be performed.
