SENSISpec Molluscs (Tropomyosin) ELISA Kit 48 Wells – Allergen Detection System

The SENSISpec Molluscs (Tropomyosin) ELISA kit represents an extremely sensitive detection system for tropomyosin (from Helix aspersa) and is particularly suitable for the quantification of mollusc residues in fish products, soups, sauces, bakery products, and meat products. Molluscs represent an important food allergen group due to their cross-reactivity with house dust mites and crustaceans. Tropomyosin, found in all common mollusc species, is the most important protein in this context. In both cooked and raw mollusc extracts, this protein represents a high proportion of total protein. For individuals with mollusc allergies, hidden mollusc proteins in food products pose a critical concern. Cross-contamination is frequently observed as a consequence of the production process. This explains why mollusc residues in food products cannot be overlooked in many cases, making reliable detection essential for allergen management.
