Crustacean Allergens Detection Kit

Crustaceans are identified as one of the critical allergens globally that trigger symptoms from mild to severe in sensitive individuals.

It usually comes from aquatic animals like shrimp, crab, lobster, crayfish, etc. While cooking or heating eliminated most of the pathogens, allergens cannot be eliminated by any means. During processing, often unintentional cross-contamination occurs, which leads to costly recalls. The only way to protect the public health from allergens is to declare it on the package by checking the food with appropriate methods.


Our crustacean allergen kit offers the highest sensitivity, which can detect crustacean allergens even in complex, highly processed foods. It uses the DNA of the provided sample, which has high heat stability, to identify the allergen, making it the most reliable choice to avoid the false results.
