Walnut Test Kit SensiStrip Pistachio LFD

Allergen detection in food safety, particularly for common allergens such as walnuts, is of critical importance. SensiStrip Walnut Test is specifically developed to identify walnut protein presence in food products and cleaning control processes. Walnut allergy is prevalent, and this test provides a sensitive solution to ensure the safety of food manufacturers and consumers.

The walnut-containing sample is introduced into a reaction vial containing biotinylated antibodies directed against walnut proteins. Following a 3-minute incubation at room temperature, a test strip is inserted into the reaction vial. The sample moves across the nitrocellulose membrane via capillary forces, releasing streptavidin-conjugated gold nanoparticles along its path. An antibody-gold complex is formed. For positive samples, when the liquid reaches the test line area, a red line appears. For negative samples, no line is visible. In all cases, a red control line appears above the test line area, indicating test validity. The test is evaluated 5 minutes after strip insertion.
