Food allergen tests

Many common foodstuffs can give rise to allergic reactions in some people. Even the slightest trace of a particular foodstuff, if omitted from the list of ingredients for a product, can cause massive problems for those allergic to it. According to EU Directive 2000/13/EG with amendments up to and including 2008/5/EG, certain foodstuffs must be included in the list of ingredients if present in a food product.
 

ScanBi Diagnostics can offer analyses for a number of the allergens included on the EU list. Our analyses are carried out using either the ELISA technique, a protein-based method, or the PCR technique, which is based on DNA.
 

All analyses are performed at our laboratory in Malmö, Sweden, which means that we have full control of samples throughout the entire chain of analysis and can therefore provide a rapid and efficient service to our customers. We are normally able to provide results within 3–5 days of samples arriving at the laboratory, but with our express analysis the results are available the very next day.
 

As an example, tests for the following allergenic components, using ELISA or DNA techniques, are available:
