The 3M Pistachio Protein Rapid Kit is intended for screening for the presence of pistachio proteins in clean-in-place (CIP) final rinse water, environmental swab samples, food ingredients and processed food products. The 3M Pistachio Protein Rapid Kit utilizes a lateral flow device (LFD) that is an immunochromatographic test method utilizing antibodies which are specific for the detection of pistachio proteins. 

Benefits

• Pistachio Protein Threshold: 2 ppm
• Results visible at 11 - ± 1 minute after application of the sample.
• Rapid, qualitative immunochromatographic lateral flow test cartridges designed for the detection of allergenic food proteins.
• Designed to detect both processed and unprocessed allergen proteins.
• Test can accommodate environmental swab, CIP rinse water and food samples.
• 25 tests per box

3M's signature hook line feature can alert you to a possible false negative due to high amounts of the target protein in a sample. This feature can increase confidence in your allergen testing results.

Positive results are visualized by the presence of three lines: a control line, a hook line and a test line, when the pistachio protein is present in the range of concentrations from a lower level of 2 ppm and a higher level of approximately 10 mg/mL of pistachio protein in saline solution (0.9% sodium chloride).

These limits may vary depending on the matrix tested. Samples containing more than 10% pistachio may result in an invalid test which will result in the absence of the hook line and/or test line.
