ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) is a widely-used method for allergen and mycotoxin testing. Capable of detecting and quantifying allergenic proteins and mycotoxins, it can be used to analyse food samples and production environments to ensure that your food products will be clean and contaminant-free.
Our BioTek 800 TS Absorbance Reader is a high-quality ELISA microplate reader that is compatible with a broad range of ELISA-based allergenic kits. This allows us to analyse common allergens such as milk, eggs, peanuts, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, gluten, and more.
We can also offer Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) testing. Unlike ELISA-based methods, PCR measures DNA rather than the allergen directly, thus it is not a direct measure for the presence of the allergen. The advantage it offers is the potential to increase specificity, whereas ELISA testing is antibody-based and can struggle with high cross-reactivity.
