Protein Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) Tests for allergen proteins. The Neogen Allergen Protein ELISA Kits utilise a sandwich ELISA. The target protein present in the sample react with the specific antibodies, which have been adsorbed to the surface of polystyrene microtiter wells. After the removal of unbound proteins by washing, antibodies conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) are added. This enzyme-labeled antibody forms complexes with the previously bound target protein. Following a second washing step, the enzyme bound to the immunosorbent is detected by the addition of a chromogenic substrate, 3,3’,5,5’-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). The colour development from this enzymatic reaction varies directly with the concentration of target protein in the sample tested; thus, the absorbance, at 450 nm, is a measure of the concentration of the target protein in the test sample. The quantity of protein in the test sample can be extrapolated from the standard curve, constructed from standards of known concentration, and adjusted to consider the sample dilution. -

Detects as little as 3 µg of protein on surfaces and in hard to reach areas CleanTrace™ ALLTEC60 Surface Protein Swabs are a fast and easy way to visually check whether cleaning has been carried out to a satisfactory standard by means of protein detection. By comparing the colour of the swab and solution against the label, the user can easily interpret the results for the presence of allergens. Clean-Trace® ALTEC60 Surface Protein (Allergen) Test Swab is validated for a range of allergenic proteins, including egg, milk, gluten, soy, peanut, almond and buckwheat. Refrigeration is not required -swabs can be stored at room temperature (25°C or 77°F). This easy-to-use device requires minimal training. The results are semi-quantitative with four possible color interpretations. The faster the test turns purple and the stronger the color change the higher the level of contamination on a surface. Quick detection and confirmation allows immediate corrective action to take place. A visual reading of a colour change indicates the level of cleanliness by detecting as little as 3µg of allergen on surfaces and in solution. No instrumentation is required to interpret the sample results. This product is easily integrated into company HACCP programs to monitor for cleaning effectiveness. Its ease of use, reliable detection and fast, visible results can help in teaching staff the importance of cleaning. -

Detects as little as 50µg of protein on surfaces and in solution This sensitive tool detects as little as 50µg of protein on surfaces. A quick, easy visual reading of a color change indicates the presence of detectable levels of protein and the fast results allow immediate corrective action. The Clean-Trace® Surface Protein Plus Test Swab can be integrated into any Hygiene Management Program where risk areas can be effectively monitored for cleaning effectiveness. As an additional benefit, it can help to reduce the risk of biological contamination, where food residues on surfaces could potentially provide nutrients for spoilage or pathogenic bacteria to thrive. This easy-to-use device requires minimal training. Intended for industrial use only. With the Clean-Trace® Surface Protein Plus Test Swab, monitoring for contamination on surfaces and in hard to reach areas is simple with results in 10 minutes. Quick detection and confirmation allows immediate corrective action to take place. A visual reading of a colour change indicates the level of cleanliness by detecting as little as 50µg of protein. No instrumentation is required to interpret the sample results. This product can be used with minimal training and is easily integrated into company HACCP programs to monitor for cleaning effectiveness. Additionally, its ease of use, reliable detection and fast, visible results can help in teaching staff the importance of cleaning. -
Meet the guardian of the line Cleaning is one of the most critical actions you can take to ensure hygienic conditions to produce high-quality products. Hygiene monitoring, which is a component of environmental monitoring, can help verify that you are cleaning effectively. It assists in identifying problematic areas to address and can help improve the cleanliness of your operation. Clean-Trace® Hygiene Monitoring and Management system provides the tools to efficiently manage your cleaning and sanitation process. These innovative solutions provide results that are accurate and trusted to quickly and confidently, make the high-risk decision to verify cleaning and begin production. -
Surface ATP Test Swab Upon activation of the test, the chemical reacts with the sample collected on the swab to produce light. The amount of the light produced is proportional to the degree of potential contamination. Measurement of the light requires the use of a Neogen Clean-Trace® LM1 Luminometer and the results are displayed in Relative Light Units (RLU). The higher the RLU number, the more contaminated the sample. Not intended for consumer use. With Clean-Trace Surface ATP UXL100, monitoring for contamination is simple with real-time results. Quick detection and confirmation allows immediate corrective action to take place. This product can be used with minimal training and is easily integrated into company HACCP programs to monitor for cleaning effectiveness. Additionally, it’s easy to use and provides consistent, reliable results. -
Water Free - ATP Test Swab The sample collection rings aid in the collection of a liquid sample for measuring free adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in solution. Upon activation of the test device, reagent in the cuvette of the test device reacts with ATP collected on the sample collection rings to produce light. The intensity of the light is proportional to the amount of ATP. Measurement of the light requires the use of a Clean-Trace® LM1 Luminometer and the results are displayed in Relative Light Units (RLU). Not intended for consumer use. The difference between Clean-Trace Water-Free ATP test results and Clean-Trace Water Plus - Total ATP test results done on the same sample indicate the amount of intact microbial cells in the sample. With Clean-Trace Water-Free ATP AQF100, monitoring for contamination is simple with real-time results. Quick detection and confirmation allows immediate corrective action to take place. This product can be used with minimal training to monitor for cleaning effectiveness. -
Water Plus ATP Test Swab Clean-Trace® Water Plus accurately detects organic contamination from microbial or product residues using ATP detection technology.

Since 2004, the use of more sensitive and specific methods has been endorsed by the European Pharmacopoeia (E.P. chapter 5.1.6 and chapter 2.6.1) and by the FDA Aseptic guidelines. Thereby, molecular biological methods are recommended as a faster and more reliable alternative to conventional methods. To meet this need, BIOTECON Diagnostics introduced the microproof® product line in 2005. The microproof® brand includes all BIOTECON Diagnostics’ products used in the pharmaceutical and clinical areas. In addition to the foodproof® product line for food safety, which has been widely used for years, BIOTECON Diagnostics’ portfolio is thus complemented by specific products for the pharmaceutical industry. -
