BioFront Technology's MonoTrace ELISAs represent the first line of monoclonal antibody-based kits (MABs) for detecting nut contamination in food matrices. Precisely defined MABs targeting major allergenic proteins help insure sensitive, specific, and reproducible results.
The company offers a series of diagnostics test kits for ground nut and tree nut allergy tests.
In an increasingly allergic world, these kits make a difference.
Companies manufacturing food which include such nuts need to ensure that their machinery is meticulously clear before beign used for non-nut containing foods. Slight contamination can lead to very expensive food recalls.
Prior to this, available test kits used polyclonal antibodies which have high cross reactivioty and high false positives.
