Lupin Test Kit SENSIStrip Lupin LFD

Food safety allergen detection, particularly for specific allergens such as lupin, is critically important. The SENSIStrip Lupin test has been specifically developed to determine the presence of lupin in food products and cleaning validation processes. While lupin allergy is rare, it can be severe, and this test provides a sensitive solution to ensure food manufacturer and consumer safety. The SENSIStrip Lupin test operates on immunoassay principles, enabling the detection of samples containing lupin. The sample is placed in a reaction tube containing biotinylated antibodies specific to lupin proteins, then incubated at room temperature for three minutes. The test strip is subsequently inserted into the tube, and as the sample migrates across the nitrocellulose membrane via capillary action, it releases streptavidin-conjugated gold nanoparticles. This interaction results in antibody-gold complex formation. In positive samples, a red line develops at the test line region with advancing liquid, while negative samples show no line. In all cases, a red control line appears above the test line region, indicating test validity. Results are evaluated after five minutes.
