Hazelnut ELISA Test kit




Hazelnut ELISA Test kit Intended Use
This Hazelnut ELISA test kit represents a highly sensitive detection system and is particularly cap-able of the quantification of hazelnut residues in cookies, cereals, ice cream and chocolate.




Hazelnut ELISA Kit Components:
• Microplate: 96 wells coated with anti-hazelnut antibodies
• Hazelnut Standards
• Enzyme Conjugate, anti-hazelnut-peroxidase
• Extraction and sample dilution buffer
• Substrate Solution, TMB
• Stop Solution
• Washing Solution




Method Principle
This Diagnostic Automation/ Cortez Diagnostics Inc. Food Hazelnut quantitative test is based on the principle of the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. An antibody directed against hazelnut proteins is bound on the surface of a microplate wells. Hazelnut containing samples or standards are then added into the wells. For further details please refer to complete instructions manual supplied with the product.




Background Information
Hazelnut with 13 % fraction protein content is a high protein nut. Many of these proteins are known for being allergenic, such as Cor a 9 and Cor a 11 also known as legumins, are classified as part of the Cupin superfamily. Most of them are very heat resistant making them stable to different production processes. For this reason hazelnut represents an important food allergen. For hazelnut allergic persons hidden hazelnut allergens in food are a critical problem. Already very low amounts of hazelnuts can cause allergic reactions, which may lead to anaphylactic shock in severe cases. Because of this, hazelnut allergic persons must strictly avoid the consumption of hazelnuts or hazelnut containing food. Cross contamination, mostly in consequence of the production process is often noticed. The chocolate production process is a representative example. This explains why in many cases the existence of hazelnut residues in foods cannot be excluded. For this reason sensitive detection systems for hazelnut residues in foodstuffs are required. This hazelnut ELISA Kit represents a highly sensitive detection system and is particularly capable of the quantification of hazelnut residues in cookies, cereals, ice cream, and chocolate.
