Rapid Protein Swabs
Emport carries
AllerSnap®, 100 swabs/case — most sensitive option
PRO-Clean®, 100 swabs/case — most inexpensive option
Check the shop for current pricing.
AllerSnap® and PRO-Clean® can indicate the presence or absence of protein residue on any working surface. They are not specific to allergens; any protein will trigger a reaction. The test is easy: swab the testing area and snap the bulb to release a reagent. Wait, potentially with an incubator, than observe the color change in the sample tube. Green means clean and purple means re-clean.
To use AllerSnap®, incubate the swabs in a heating block for 5-30 minutes then match the color to the chart: . The incubator is a necessary piece of equipment for AllerSnap®; the tests will not be as sensitive without heated incubation.
The swabbing and interpreting procedures are the same for PRO-Clean®, however no incubation is necessary. The swabs are less sensitive than AllerSnap, and may take longer to provide results.
Both kits use the biuret method, a colorimetric technique specific for proteins and peptides. Copper salts in alkaline solution form a purple complex with substances containing two or more peptide bonds. The absorbance produced is proportional to the number of peptide bonds that are reacting and therefore to the number of protein molecules present in the reaction system ~Read the article on Science Direct
