foodproof® Celery Detection Kit by BIOTECON Diagnostics

It is estimated that up to 8% of the population in the European Union have a food allergy.
Even small amounts of allergen can cause severe allergic reactions with minor to life threatening symptoms. The only protection is to prevent exposure.

Following EU regulation (2007/68/EG), there are 14 ingredients that must be listed on a label if the food contains them. The regulation does not mention a threshold, which is equal to zero tolerance.

The foodproof® Celery Detection Kit facilitates a fast, safe and easy detection of celery in food samples. If quantification is necessary, a reference material is available from BIOTECON Diagnostics.

The foodproof® Celery Detection Kit is based on the real-time PCR technology, which is well established in the food industry as a highly sensitive and specific detection method.
