Lupin Test Kits

Lupin Test Kits for Lab and On-Site Detection

Lupins are common garden flowers. The legume seeds of some types of lupin can be ground into lupin flour which is often used in bread, pasta, cakes and pastries.

Although an allergy to lupin is quite rare, it does happen. In addition, some peanut allergic individuals may also react to lupin-containing food due to the botanical relationship between peanut and lupin.

The cross-contamination of food preparations during production processes is a practical reality. The food industry must use sensitive lupin detection tests in order to protect allergic individuals from the fatal consequences of lupin intake.

Fast and highly sensitive lupin analysis

The Romer Labs lupin test kit portfolio covers ELISAs and LFDs for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of lupin in environmental samples, rinse waters and finished food products.

AgraStrip^® Lateral Flow Devices

The AgraStrip^® Lupin test kit is a ready-to-use lateral flow device (LFD) for on-site testing. This immunological test allows a rapid analysis of a wide range of food samples within only 11 minutes (including extraction).

AgraStrip^® LFDs represent a fast and simple qualitative strip test method in which specific antibodies labeled with colloidal gold are used for visual color development at a test and control zone.

Model:

AgraStrip^® Lupin (10002047)

AgraQuant^® ELISA Tests

The AgraQuant^® Lupin test kit is an accurate and reliable enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in a quantitative format. Results are measured with a specific ELISA reader, such as the StatFax® or the BioTek^® reader.

This ELISA test kit is the ideal solution for a parallel measurement of multiple samples with assay times of as low as 60 minutes for up to 38 samples.

AgraQuant^® allergen test kits are sandwich ELISAs in a ready-to-use format to reduce handling errors and come with a set of 5 standards, an antibody coated plate, an extraction solution, a wash buffer, a conjugate, a substrate and a stop solution.
