Hygiena AlerTox® Sticks Casein is a rapid immunochromatographic test for the qualitative detection of casein in food, kitchens and production facilities.
AlerTox Sticks are rapid tests for allergen detection in food, drinks, and on surfaces for internal Quality Control. They are designed specifically to help manufacturers keep their items free of antigens that may cause allergic reactions. These user-friendly tests are for the detection and qualification of main food allergens without the need for lab equipment or scientific knowledge.
AlerTox Sticks Casein is based on a lateral flow immunoassay and combines antibodies specific to casein. It is able to detect casein residues in a large variety of food matrices and also in environmental samples. It can detect casein from cow, sheep and goat milk.
