FAPAS Proficiency Test of Allergens

SKU: FP-ALLERGEN

Allergens

The allergens proficiency tests cover a wide range of common allergic ingredients. With the exception of histamine, all the allergens tests require results to be reported according to the ELISA kit used. There is a recognised results-dependency of ELISA kits and assigned values will be specific to the kit used. Some of the proficiency tests are designed for specific allergen protein reporting (such as milk as BLG, for example).

Most of these proficiency tests are semi-blind, i.e. they combine qualitative detection and/or quantitative results reporting. Some tests will only be qualitative if the known detection technology is insufficiently quantitative. Histamine can be reported using test kits or HPLC methods.
