We are pleased to announce the launch of the latest addition to our allergen PowerLine test range: the SENSIStrip Casein PowerLine Lateral Flow Device! This highly sensitive test is specifically designed for the detection of casein residues in a variety of sample types, including food matrices, rinse water, and environmental swabs.
A key feature of this product is the incorporation of a hook line, which helps to eliminate the risk of false-negative results caused by the hook effect in highly contaminated samples. Each kit contains all necessary, ready-to-use materials to perform 20 individual tests, ensuring convenience and reliability in allergen monitoring.
Bovine milk is one of the most common and significant food allergens, particularly affecting children. Even trace amounts can trigger allergic reactions, potentially leading to anaphylactic shock in severe cases. Approximately 80% of bovine milk proteins are caseins, including α-, β-, and κ-caseins, which are known for their heat stability and allergenic potential. This makes the detection of casein residues critical in ensuring food safety and consumer protection.
Cross-contaminations during production process, and an eventual undeclared presence of milk proteins in foodstuffs is a major risk for consumers, and gives particular importance to proper allergen detection. In particular the presence of hidden milk proteins such as in sausage, cookies, convenience food or beverages represent a critical problem for milk allergic persons.
The SENSIStrip PowerLine kits make sure that allergen detection covers efficiently all possible cases. The hook line enables to identify highly contaminated samples with avoiding the hook effect. The test takes only a few minutes of preparation and evaluation.
SENSIStrip Casein PowerLine Food matrix sensitivity: 1 ppm, Swabbing sensitivity: 0.003 µg/cm2, Rinse water sensitivity: 0.13 mg/L.
