AllerSnap® is a high-sensitivity allergen detection swab designed for protein residue testing and cleaning verification in food processing environments. This all-in-one allergen swab test kit detects trace protein down to 3µg on surfaces, delivering visual color-coded results in 15 to 30 minutes. The pre-moistened swab ensures consistent sample collection on stainless steel, plastic, and other equipment surfaces. Ideal for allergen control programs in dairy, bakery, and nutraceutical facilities, AllerSnap® helps prevent cross-contamination with its semi-quantitative pass/fail interpretation. Stable for 18 months at room temperature for reliable on-site allergen residue swab testing.
AllerSnap® is both cost-effective and time-saving — especially when testing for multiple surface allergens. One swab test checks for all proteins, quickly confirming the hygiene of a surface and eliminating the need to run multiple expensive allergen-specific tests. If a surface is cleaned properly, all protein residues should be removed.
