InviLisa® Peanut ELISA Kit

FAQs

• 1. Which peanut allergens does the kit detect?

  The kit is designed to detect Ara h 2, which is recognized as one of the most clinically relevant and heat stable peanut allergens. . Detection is achieved through high affinity antibodies targeting epitopes conserved in both native and denatured Ara h 2 protein conformations.

• 2. Does the kit also detect denatured proteins in highly processed foods?

  Yes. Thermal and mechanical processing steps such as roasting, baking, or extrusion can denature proteins, but this ELISA kit is designed to reliably detect both native and denatured proteins. It's AOAC validated performance ensures robust detection even in complex and highly processed food matrices.

• 3. Why is peanut allergen testing important for regulatory compliance?

  Peanut is one of the 14 mandatory allergens listed under EU Regulation 1169/2011, requiring clear labelling and strict control of cross contamination. This AOAC validated ELISA kit supports compliance by providing sensitive and reliable detection of peanut proteins in foods and production environments.
