A new line of rapid lateral flow devices for common food allergens, OnSite® test kits are suitable for commercial kitchens, food and beverage manufacturers, auditing professionals, and anyone dedicated to allergen safety.
OnSite® III Allergen Test Kits can be ordered for any of the following analytes:
* gluten kit requires additional supplies and separate extraction protocol.
OnSite® III Allergen can be used on raw ingredients, finished products, rinsewater, and surfaces. Analyzing surfaces does require the separate purchase of OnSite® Accessory kit. OnSite® Allergen Multiplex Tree Nut cannot be used to analyze foods.
OnSite® III Allergen kits are each designed to react to a specific allergen. For environments where multiple allergens may be present, kits may be combined as needed. With the exception of gluten, all allergens share a common extraction protocol. This means that one extracted sample can be used to detect several allergens at the same time.
Test kits should be kept between 2°-8°C, in the refrigerator. This preserves kit shelf life and sensitivity.
Complete Instructions for Use are included in each test kit. Tests are simple to run and no previous knowledge is required. Contact your distributor for more details.
No. While the three-line design does distinguish between low and high levels of allergen, a precise value is not possible.
In situations where a precise value is required, ELISA analysis should be undertaken by trained personnel.
This convenient lateral flow test kit quickly detects traces of tree nut protein in rinsewater and on surfaces.
Allergen Multiplex Tree Nut at a glance:
Tree nut allergies are among the most common food allergies for both children and adults. Accordingly, many countries consider tree nuts to be a major food allergen requiring careful labeling and hazard management. And because many individuals with tree nut allergies are not allergic to all tree nuts but only to some, allergen legislation frequently requires each specific nut to be labeled and handled distinctly. For example, a person may need to avoid cashew and pistachio only — and so a product label must indicate the presence not just of “tree nuts” but also detail which nuts are included.
No. The OnSite® Allergen Multiplex Tree Nut test kit is targeted at the six most common tree nuts.
Definition of “tree nut” vary by country, but nearly always include more nut species than these six. If you require information about a nut other than almond, cashew, hazelnut, pecan, pistachio, or walnut — contact your distributor to see if an OnSite® III Allergen kit is available for your specific need.
OnSite® Multiplex Tree Nut is strictly for surfaces and rinsewater. It cannot be used to analyze foods.
In addition, OnSite® Multiplex Tree Nut is designed to provide a single “detected” or “not detected” signal when any or all of the target analytes are found in detectable quantity. This means that the presence of sufficient almond or cashew or hazelnut or pecan or pistachio or walnut — or any combination of those nuts — will trigger a positive (“detected”) result.
If more targeted information about any one specific allergen is needed, the relevant OnSite® III Allergen Test Kit can be used.
Test kits should be kept between 2°-8°C, in the refrigerator. This preserves kit shelf life and sensitivity.
