The 3M™ Allergen Protein Rapid Kit is intended for screening for the presence of proteins in clean-in-place (CIP) final rinse water, environmental swab samples, food ingredients and processed food products.

The 3M™ Allergen Protein Rapid Kit utilizes a lateral flow device (LFD) that is an immunochromatographic test method utilizing antibodies which are specific for the detection of allergen proteins. Positive results are visualized by the presence of three lines: a control line, a hook line and a test line, when the allergen protein is present. Positive results for gluten protein is indicated when two lines; test and control line, are visible on the gluten protein LFD.

• Results visible at 11 ±1 minute after application of the sample
• Rapid, qualitative immunochromatographic lateral flow test cartridges designed for the detection of allergenic food proteins
• Designed to detect both processed and unprocessed allergen proteins
• Test can accommodate environmental swab, CIP rinse water and food samples
