SENSISpec ELISA Lupin Allergen 48-Well Kit

The SENSISpec Lupin ELISA is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay providing highly sensitive detection of lupin allergen residues in food matrices including sausages, baked goods, potato products, ketchup, and fruit juices. Lupin (Lupinus species: L. albus, L. angustifolius, L. luteus) is a legume with protein content of 35-45% in seeds, containing allergenic proteins (α-, β-, γ-conglutin fractions) with documented cross-reactivity to soybean and peanut allergens. Due to increasing use of lupin flour in food manufacturing—particularly in products for consumers with milk allergy, vegetarian diets, and celiac disease—detection of hidden lupin allergen residues is critical for food safety. Cross-contamination during production is common, and even trace amounts can trigger severe allergic reactions including anaphylaxis. This assay demonstrates high cross-reactivity with common lupin varieties and provides sensitive quantification for allergen control and regulatory compliance.
