The "Allergen Eye Immunochromatography Heating Kit" is a kit that allows for easy testing of allergens in various food products, including raw materials and processed foods. It can be stored at room temperature, and since the extraction solution is common for all tests, simultaneous testing of other items is possible. 【Features】 ■ Allows for easy and rapid testing of allergens in various foods. ■ Can detect allergenic proteins at 2ppm in food. ■ Has a high correlation with the notification method ELISA for specific ingredients. ■ Available in small packs, making it convenient for infrequent testing. ■ The extraction solution is common for all tests, enabling simultaneous testing of other items. 【Lineup】 ◎ Egg ◎ Milk (Casein) ◎ Milk (Whey) ◎ Wheat ◎ Buckwheat ◎ Peanut ◎ Crustaceans ◎ Soybean ◎ Sesame ◎ Almond ◎ Walnut *For more details, please request materials or view the PDF data available for download.

The "Allergen Eye ELISA II" is a kit for quantifying allergen concentrations in food. It is recommended for those who want to know how much allergen was present in samples that tested positive with the Allergen Eye immunochromatography, or for those who wish to manage testing in accordance with notification methods. 【Features】 ■ Accurately quantifies food allergenic substances from 1 to 20 ppm in food. ■ Capable of testing a wide range of foods, from raw materials to processed foods. ■ Excellent specificity due to original monoclonal antibodies, resulting in fewer false positives. ■ Testing method compliant with notification standards. 【Lineup】 ◎ Eggs ◎ Milk ◎ Wheat ◎ Buckwheat ◎ Peanuts 【Notes】 When testing with Allergen Eye ELISA II, special equipment (such as a plate reader and plate washer) is required. Please consult us if you are introducing it for the first time. *For more details, please request materials or view the PDF data available for download.

Precautions This kit is designed to detect unmodified (unheated) target proteins. Examples of use: raw materials (not subjected to high temperature and pressure), intermediate products before heating (such as seasoned meat). Heated denatured proteins cannot be detected. If you are dealing with heat-processed products or are unsure about the heating process, please use the "Allergen Eye Immunochromatography for Heating." If you are unsure about which testing kit to choose, please contact the manufacturer listed on the back. 【Features】 ■ Easy to operate, no special equipment required. ■ Can detect allergenic proteins at 2 ppm in food. ■ Available in small packs, so you can feel secure even if testing frequency is low. ■ The extraction solution is common for all items, allowing simultaneous testing of other items. 【Lineup】 ◎ Egg ◎ Milk (Casein) ◎ Milk (Whey) ◎ Wheat *For details, please request materials or view the PDF data available for download.

The 'Gluten Eye' is a kit that allows for easy testing of wheat gluten in rice flour. It can detect wheat gluten at 1 ppm in rice flour and is ideal for managing the production of gluten-free rice flour. 【Features】 ■ Testing for wheat gluten contained in rice flour ■ Extraction is possible by simply mixing rice flour with the extraction solution ■ Qualitative testing can be done visually within 10 minutes ■ Detection sensitivity: 1 ppm wheat gluten in rice flour ■ Storage temperature: 1 to 30°C *For more details, please request documentation or download the PDF data.

On March 9, 2023, the food labeling standards were revised, and "walnuts" were added to the list of items that must be labeled for food allergies. In tests without an extraction process, such as wipe tests, proteins that are soluble in water are detected. However, nut-based products like walnuts and almonds are not easily soluble in water, so it is necessary to make the proteins more soluble. With the "Allergen Eye Wipe Test Kit for Walnuts" and "Allergen Eye Wipe Test Kit for Almonds," by adding extraction solution components to the wipe solution, allergenic proteins can be detected with high sensitivity. 【Features】 - By adding a wipe solution, allergenic proteins are dissolved, allowing for accurate testing. - The presence or absence of food allergens can be determined after 20 minutes. - There is a small pack (for 5 tests) available, providing peace of mind for infrequent testing. - The small pack includes cotton swabs with buffer solution and a 1mL dropper for the wipe test solution, allowing for a complete wipe test with just this one kit. *Please prepare a micropipette that can measure 100μL separately. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The "Allergen Eye Immunochromatography Heating Use Cashew Nut" is a testing kit designed to confirm the presence of allergens in raw materials and processed foods. To accommodate the transition to specific raw materials planned for the fiscal year 2025, we have been developing a cashew nut testing kit. Recently, thanks to Prima Ham's unique technology, we have successfully created a monoclonal antibody that specifically reacts only to "cashew nuts" (patent pending). The detection sensitivity is 2 ppm. It can use the same heating extraction solution as before, and the testing method is the same. 【Features】 ■ Detection sensitivity is 2 ppm ■ Specifically detects only cashew nuts ■ Same operational method as the conventional heating use *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

In the food industry, there is a growing demand for wipe tests to confirm allergen residues on manufacturing lines. Nuts, such as cashews, contain high levels of lipids and polyphenols, making their proteins difficult to dissolve in water. By adding the extraction solution component of the food testing kit "Allergen Eye Immunochromatography for Heating" to the wipe solution, it has become possible to detect allergens with high sensitivity by dissolving the proteins. Currently, we are selling testing kits for "walnuts" and "almonds," and we will expand the testing kit for "cashews" to meet our customers' diverse testing needs. 【Features】 - By adding a wipe additive solution, it is possible to dissolve allergenic proteins, allowing for accurate testing. - The presence of food allergens can be determined after 20 minutes. - There are small packs (for 5 tests) available, so you can feel secure even if testing frequency is low. - The small pack includes a cotton swab with buffer solution and a 1mL dropper for the wipe test additive solution, allowing for wipe testing with just this one kit. *Please prepare a separate micropipette that can measure 100μL. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
