Diagnostic Automation Inc. offers a Lupine ELISA Kit that is an Enzyme Immunoassay for the Quantitative determination of Lupine/Lupin in Food. This Lupine ELISA Kit is a rapid and sensitive Food Allergen ELISA Kit which is designed to provide a sensitive and convenient method for screening food samples for lupine/lupin residues. This Lupine ELISA Kit represents a highly sensitive Food Allergen ELISA Kit detection system for lupine and is particularly capable of the quantification of residues in sausage, bakery products, potato products, ketchup, and juices.

Lupine ELISA Kit Background Information:
Lupine/Lupin belongs to the legume family. With about 35-45%, the fraction of proteins in lupine seed is very high. Some of these proteins are known for being allergenic, due to cross-reaction to allergens of soy and peanut. Because of its convenient nutritional properties the use of lupine flour as a food ingredient is highly increasing. Lupine is often used in dietary products, especially for milk allergic people, vegetarians and patients with celiac disease. In food production three (sweet) lupin species are commonly used: Lupinus albus, Lupinus angustifolius and Lupinus luteus. For lupine allergic persons, hidden lupine allergens in food are a critical problem. Already very low amounts of lupine can cause allergic reactions, which may lead to anaphylactic shock in severe cases. Thus, sensitive detection systems, like this Lupine ELISA Kit for lupine residues in foods are required.



Lupine ELISA Kit Test Principle:
The Lupine ELISA test is a quantitative test based on the principle of the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. An antibody directed against lupine proteins is bound on the surface of a microtiter plate.
