3M Clean-Trace Pro-Tect Protein Surface Hygiene Test Swab (PRO100 – 100 Tests)

3M Clean-Trace Pro-Tect Protein Test Swab is a single-use, sterile swab test that detects protein residue on surfaces and hard-to-reach areas without requiring laboratory instrumentation. It operates on the Biuret reaction principle; protein presence remaining on surfaces after cleaning is indicated by color change.

Since major food allergens such as egg, milk, gluten, soy, and peanut are protein-based, a negative result provides a strong indicator of low allergen presence risk. Test results are visually read within 10 minutes and require no reader instrument or additional equipment. This enables both rapid field decision-making and straightforward applicability with minimal training requirements.

Each kit is supplied in sterile packaging containing 1 swab with integrated reactive solution. The PRO100 version contains 100 tests and is designed for industrial and commercial use. It is a practical sanitation verification tool for food production facilities, commercial kitchens, catering operations, and quality control units managing allergen protocols.
