Peanuts are a major cause of food allergies both in children and adults and can induce analphylactic shock. In recent years, peanut allergens have been identified and characterised. The proteins Ara h1 and Ara h2 have been the focus of much attention.
Because of its allergenic and heat stable properties, Ara h2 was chosen in conjunction with Arah1 and other major peanut proteins, for the ELISA SYSTEMS Peanut Residue ELISA.
Intended Use
The ELISA SYSTEMS Peanut Residue assay is a rapid enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that may be used to screen Food products for the presence of Peanut material caused by cross-contamination with Peanut products and residues containing Peanut.
Kit Controls Supplied
