Rapid Meat Speciation for food samples
The rapid Raw Meat FlowThrough™ speciation test is an innovative product designed for use by raw meat processors as well as by smaller food analysis laboratories. Their use transforms the capability for onsite control at meat processing operations. Raw Meat FlowThrough™ tests are available in packs of 5 tests.
The tests are simple to perform and provide fast and cost-effective test results for a wide range of large and small meat processors. Key benefits:
- Reliably detect 1% levels of raw meat adulteration
- For use with raw meats, blood drip and raw meat products
- Validated using LGC Raw Meat Certificated Reference Materials (CRMs)
- Results in under 15 minutes
- Easy to use, no special training required
- Includes all materials for conducting five tests
General test procedures
The FlowThrough™ tests are rapid, accurate and easy to use. Everything you need to conduct five tests are included in the kit. Contact us if you would like additional documentation on how the tests are conducted. The procedure for the tests are different for foods and surfaces.
The Raw Meat FlowThrough™ Test six part procedure typically takes 12 minutes to perform. Species-specific proteins are extracted from a homogenous sample that is then diluted and added to the test unit so that the proteins bind to a Test spot (T) on the left hand side of the test area. Binding of these proteins is indicated after the addition of a Color Reagent, which forms a pink spot at ‘T’. A pink Control (C) spot will also appear on the right hand side of the test area to indicate the test has worked properly.
Shipping and Storage of Raw Meat FlowThrough™ kits
The Raw Meat FlowThrough™ tests require special handling and storage. Check the control spot before using to make sure that the kit did not degrade because of a shipping issue
- Shipping flat-rate applies only to the continental US. Located in Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico? Contacts us to arrange shipping.
- Raw Meat FlowThrough kits will ship via UPS
- Kits will be shipped in cold pack
- Kits should be stored at 2°C/36°F to 8°C/46°F
FlowThrough™ for testing foods
- I got an unexpected result or I would like to verify my result
The sample extract can be retained (store refrigerated at 2°C/36°F to 8°C/46°F for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 3 months) for testing by ELISA if required. If necessary, spin the white disc by pressing one edge and remove it so that more liquid extract can be accessed. Contact us to set up ELISA lab testing. - Viscous extracts may take longer to absorb; if not absorbed after 10 minutes, blot remaining liquid with a clean cotton bud or tissue before cleaning the test area.
Rapid Meat Speciation for surface swabbing
Raw Cow FlowThrough™ Swab offers meat processors a new possibility to improve the effectiveness of their cleaning routines. With this simple test, you can address the current key demands for ease of sampling, high sensitivity with speed and ease of use to verify that meat species controls are working.
- Reliable, sensitive detection
- For use on work and storage surfaces
- Results in under 8 minutes
- No ‘overload’ should high levels of contamination be detected.
- Easy to use, no special training required
- Includes all materials for conducting five tests
Selectivity of the FlowThrough™ Swab tests for surfaces
The purified antibodies used in this kit are highly specific for the specific species albumin protein; other species (see the meats, animal sera and related foods in the table below), if they react at all, do so at levels well below the lowest detectable response level:
Contact us for a full validation report. For each test there are also reactions, to a greater or lesser degree, with closely-related species as follows:
General test procedures
The FlowThrough™ tests are rapid, accurate and easy to use. Everything you need to conduct five tests are included in the kit. Contact us if you would like additional documentation on how the tests are conducted. The procedure for the tests are different for foods and surfaces.
The FlowThrough™ Swab Test for surfaces is equally simple. The test is a validation step in your cleaning process. Swab the selected area with consistent pressure. Snap the bulb on the sawb device and firmly squeeze to release the color reagent through the swab tip into the tube. Squeeze the bulb to empty the
liquid onto the test area through the swab tip.

FlowThrough™ Swabs for surfaces
- Swabbing the surface
The test is designed to verify the cleaning step in your process and should only be used on visibly clean surfaces.Although the tests are highly sensitive the detection capability is dependent upon the quality of the swabbing technique. Amongst other factors, it depends on the surface material and effectiveness of swabbing.
- Cleaning verification
Working strength levels of detergents or disinfectants do not affect the performance of the tests. - Test and Control spot intensity
The appearance of a clearly visible Test spot no matter what the intensity should be recorded as Detected. The Control spot should always be clearly visible for the test to be valid. The Test spot (if it appears) is normally of less intensity than the Control spot. Any Test spot is indicative of an unclean surface.
