AgraStrip Gluten G12 test kit for gluten

Arrow Scientific has launched a test kit for gluten, expanding its product portfolio for food allergens. The AgraStrip Gluten G12 is a lateral-flow device for on-site factory testing.

The kit uses proprietary gluten detection technology which employs a next-generation antibody called G12 that targets the most immunotoxic proteins for consumers intolerant to gluten.

These tests are sensitive and specific but with a simplified protocol users can run the tests on-site at production lines to quickly and simply verify cleaning of equipment and surfaces to prevent gluten cross-contamination.

The easy-to-use AgraStrip Gluten G12 kit has an adjustable cut-off level for qualitative screening at either 5, 10 or 20 ppm gluten.

Using these gluten strips, users can determine if there is any residual gluten at different production steps or in the final products, allowing an efficient monitoring of critical control points in an HACCP scheme or any other quality management system.
