Food Allergen Testing and Rapid Microbiology Kit

Rapid analyses in the agro-food and environmental sector shave a significant impact in the detection of:

Food allergens
Microorganisms, particularly pathogens

These tests can be performed on water and food matrices, as well as on surfaces or in the air.

Analyses can be carried out using several advanced methodologies:

Immunoenzymatic lateral flow tests for the detection of food allergens and microorganisms, including pathogens
Colorimetric tests for the detection of microorganisms, including pathogens
qPCR tests for the detection of food allergens and microorganisms, including pathogens
Immunoenzymatic ELISA tests for the detection of food allergens

Rapid Kits for Microorganism Detection

Several types of rapid tests are available:

Immunoenzymatic Lateral Flow Tests

These tests provide fast and reliable results for the detection of Legionella and are widely used for screening or on-site testing. They are visual-read rapid tests, with the possibility of analyzing data via a dedicated app.

Chromogenic Tests

Colorimetric tests for the detection and selective enumeration of microorganisms measure the activity of primary metabolism enzymes, allowing a precise correlation between enzymatic activity and microbial load in the sample. These are visual-read rapid tests with a color change, and readings can also be automated.

qPCR Kits for Food Allergens and Microorganisms

PCR is a method used to amplify a specific DNA sequence in a reaction containing, among other components, a thermostable DNA polymerase, nucleotides, and primers complementary to the target sequence. The method involves several steps and must be performed using dedicated equipment.

Rapid Kits and ELISA for Food Allergen Detection

Several test types are available:

Immunoenzymatic Lateral Flow Tests

These tests provide rapid qualitative results for allergen detection and are widely used for screening or on-site testing. They are visual-read rapid tests.

Immunoenzymatic ELISA Tests

Based on the specific interaction between an antibody and its target molecule, these tests detect the reaction through an enzyme that produces a signal measurable with an optical reader.
