LANSING, Mich. — Neogen Corporation announced that it has released its Veratox VIP assay for the detection of walnut, the third assay in Neogen's Veratox VIP line of enhanced quantitative ELISA products.
“As tree nuts remain one of the most common allergens, it is incredibly important that we are providing solutions that make it easier for producers to detect potential contamination and strengthen their allergen control plans,” said John Adent, Neogen president and CEO. “Given the highly sensitive nature of the new Veratox VIP for Walnut assay, producers can be confident in Neogen's strong commitment to food safety and quality.”
The quantitative test demonstrates specificity down to 0.15 ppm walnut protein, one of the lowest detection concentrations for an ELISA kit, Neogen reports. The product is appropriate for testing samples from a wide variety of product types and processing environments, including heat-processed and complex samples. Veratox VIP for Walnut utilizes 30-minute time-to-result and ready-to-use reagents.
