Description
Almonds are seeds from a widely cultivated tree belonging to the Rosaceae family. While the fruit of the almond tree is a drupe rather than a true nut, almonds are considered major tree nuts and have the potential to cause severe allergic reactions, even with the risk of fatality. To mitigate the risk of cross-contamination during food production, it is of utmost importance to thoroughly examine both the production environment and final products for any presence of almond traces. The food industry must employ highly sensitive testing equipment to ensure strict compliance with stringent food safety standards, safeguarding consumers from potential allergenic exposure to almonds.
The AgraStrip® Pro Almond test kit is a lateral flow device (LFD) specifically developed to swiftly and conveniently detect almond residues on-site. It is designed to be used for analyzing raw materials, finished food products, beverages, rinse waters, and environmental samples. With this kit, almond traces can be qualitatively detected with utmost simplicity, speed, and reliability.
