To comply with regulations, food manufacturers must label their products with all ingredients that may cause allergic reactions. Molecular biology tools, specifically RT-PCR, is a widely used method to detect and quantify these allergenic ingredients. RT-PCR offers the advantages of extremely high sensitivity and specificity, especially on samples, where the gold standard technology ELISA reaches its limitations e. g. highly processed matrices. This makes RT-PCR an excellent complementary tool to immunological techniques such as ELISA.
The DNAllergen2 RT-PCR kits, provided by Gold Standard Diagnostics, empower food laboratories with enhanced precision and robust results for allergen detection in food safety testing. The extensive range of the DNAllergen2 RT-PCR kits allows for reliable detection and precise quantification of specific allergenic sources, with no cross-reactivity to closely related species.
