Peanuts are a major cause of food allergies both in children and adults and can induce anaphylactic shock. In recent years, peanut allergens have been identified and characterised. The protein Ara h2 has been the focus of much attention.
The ELISA SYSTEMS Peanut Residue assay is a rapid enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that may be used to screen food products and environmental samples for the presence of Peanut material caused by cross-contamination with Peanut products and residues containing Peanut.
Because of its allergenic and heat stable properties, Ara h2 was chosen as the target protein, for the ELISA SYSTEMS Peanut Residue ELISA.
0ppm, 0.25ppm, 0.5ppm, 1.0ppm and 2.5 ppm Peanut Protein (Total Peanut Protein).
Time required for testing an extracted sample: Approximately 35 minutes.
ELISA Systems Peanut Assay Kit standard concentrations are now given in units of ppm Total Peanut Protein. Previously, the kit standard value units were ppm Soluble Peanut Protein. A Conversion Table is provided in the Kit Instructions for Use to allow conversion of results to different reporting units. This change has been initiated in response to the recommendations by both FAO/WHO and AOAC International that the standardised reporting unit for food allergen test kits is ppm Total Protein.
