Hygiena AlerTox® ELISA Fish

The Hygiena AlerTox® ELISA tests are quantitative sandwich ELISAs designed for analyzing food, beverage, and surface samples for common allergens. An antibody directed against the target antigen (protein) is bound on the surface of a microtiter plate. Antigen-containing samples or standards are given into the wells of the microtiter plate. After 20 minutes incubation at room temperature (15 – 25 ºC/59 – 77 ºF), the wells are washed with diluted washing solution to remove unbound material. A peroxidase-conjugated second antibody directed against the same antigen is given into the wells and after 20 minutes of incubation the plate is washed again. A substrate solution is added and incubated for 20 minutes, resulting in the development of a blue color. The color development is inhibited by the addition of a Stop Solution, and the color turns yellow. The yellow color is measured photometrically at 450 nm. The concentration of the antigen is directly proportional to the color intensity of the test sample. A few highlights:

• Results in 60-75 minutes (20-20-20 incubation)
• 96 well kit for large number of samples
• Store: 2 – 8 °C (36 – 46 °F).
• Standards:5 standards including blank; Ready to use (except Casein and Milk).
• Validated: Recovery rates, quantification range, and validated commodities available on request.
• Note: Ovalbumin ELISA is validated for wine matrix only; Lysozyme is validated for wine and cheese matrices only.
