AlerTox® ELISA

AlerTox ELISA is a laboratory-based assay kit for the quantitative determination of hazelnut in food products, raw materials, and process samples. The method is based onELISA the concentration of hazelnut protein is proportional to the color intensity measured photometrically (450 nm).

The kit has been validated for a wide range of matrices, including heat-treated products such as baked goods, chocolate, and desserts, as well as CIP/rinse water. The assay uses a standard curve and provides results in ppm whole hazelnut, with the option to convert to protein content.

The method is optimized for reproducible laboratory analysis with high specificity and very low cross-reactivity with other nuts and foods.
