Food allergen testing
Food allergens are a major concern for food and beverage manufacturers of all sizes, so we have developed a range of allergen-specific and non-specific tests to give you control over your allergen testing programme whatever your requirements. Designed to streamline your processes, 3M™ Allergen tests deliver accurate results giving you confidence in your allergen testing.
Our allergen tests include Rapid Lateral Flow allergen testing kits for fast in-plant monitoring, Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) kits for outstanding precision, and easy-to-use surface protein allergen test swabs for monitoring the presence of total proteins on surfaces to verify the effectiveness of cleaning.

-
Keeping it simple
Our tests are adaptable enough to be used on a range of samples including environmental swabs, clean-in-place (CIP) final rinse water, ingredients and food samples.
-
Simplified protocols, easier workflow
Our allergen testing solutions have been designed around how you work. We’ve simplified protocols and removed variables throughout the process, reducing the risk of human error and inconsistent outcomes. So you get results in fewer steps, and data you know is right.
