ALS is pleased to announce that it has extended its range of allergen testing at Chatteris with the addition of quantitative determination of almond in food and swab samples.
The method uses automated ELISA technology with all testing carried out in our purpose built allergen-testing laboratory at Chatteris in Cambridgeshire.
This test is currently unaccredited. However, we plan to include this in the next extension to scope we put forward to UKAS. The limit of detection is 0.5mg/kg for food and swabs.
As a result, ALS is now able to provide analysis for the following key allergens:
- Accredited tests
- Gluten (Gliadin)
- Milk (Casein)
- Peanut
- Mustard
- Soya
- Egg White Protein
- Non-accredited tests
- Milk (Beta Lacto-globulin)
- Almond
- Gluten (Gliadin) SWABS
If you wish to discuss the methodology or like us to provide you with a quotation for testing, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Services Team on 01354 697 028 or email us at [email protected]
