Brazil Nut ELISA Kit SENSISpec 96-Well Allergen Testing

The SENSISpec Brazil Nut ELISA kit represents a highly sensitive detection system specifically designed for quantification of Brazil nut residues in processed foods including biscuits, cereals, ice cream, chocolate, and sausages. Brazil nuts contain approximately 14% protein content, with certain proteins such as 2S albumin (Ber e 1) and 11S legumin (Ber e 2) possessing allergenic properties. While Brazil nut allergies remain relatively uncommon compared to other tree nuts, they can manifest with particular severity. Even trace amounts of Brazil nut protein can trigger allergic reactions, with severe cases potentially resulting in anaphylactic shock. Cross-contamination during manufacturing processes is frequently encountered, necessitating reliable detection methods for Brazil nut residues in food products intended for sensitive populations.
