3M Coconut Allergen Protein Rapid Kit (25 Tests)

• Results visible at 11 ± 1 minute after application of the sample.
• Rapid, qualitative immunochromatographic lateral flow test cartridges designed for the detection of allergenic food proteins.
• Designed to detect both processed and unprocessed allergen proteins.
• Test can accommodate environmental swab, CIP rinse water and food samples.

The 3M™ Coconut Protein Rapid Kit is intended for screening for the presence of coconut proteins in clean-in-place (CIP) final rinse water, environmental swab samples, food ingredients and processed food products.

The 3M Coconut Protein Rapid Kit utilises a lateral flow device (LFD) that is an immunochromatographic test method utilising antibodies which are specific for the detection of coconut proteins. Positive results are visualised by the presence of three lines: a control line, a hook line and a test line, when the coconut protein is present in the range of concentrations from a lower level of 2 ppm and a higher level of approximately 1.6 mg/mL of coconut protein in saline solution (0.9% sodium chloride). These limits may vary depending on the matrix tested. Samples containing more than 5% coconut may result in an invalid test which will result in the absence of the hook line and/or test line.

Storage Instructions - The 3M™ Rapid Allergen Test Kits should be stored at 2 to 8C and have a shelf life of 24 months.
