Hazelnut ELISA Kit SENSISpec 96 Well Allergen Test

The SENSISpec Hazelnut ELISA kit represents an advanced detection system specifically designed to quantify hazelnut residues in cookies, cereals, ice cream, and chocolate products. Hazelnut exhibits a high protein fraction (~13%), with multiple proteinaceous components identified as major allergens, including Cor a 9 and Cor a 11. These allergen proteins demonstrate thermal stability and resistance to various food processing conditions, establishing hazelnut as a critical food allergen. For hazelnut-allergic individuals, even trace amounts of hazelnut protein can trigger immune-mediated adverse reactions, with severe cases potentially progressing to anaphylaxis. Cross-contamination during manufacturing remains a frequent source of undeclared allergen exposure. This ELISA kit enables rapid, quantitative allergen analysis to ensure food safety compliance and consumer protection.
