Immunological test system

Environmental influences

Experimental conditions

Stability affected by transport & storage conditions

Robustness vs ruggedness

Factors influencing ELISA comparability

Summary

Food allergens are extremely diverse

Significant variability of results between

immunoassay methods, labs, matrices

No certified reference standard

no common reference point for ELISA comparison

Many matrix factors influence accuracy – take

into account when choosing matrices

Consider both inclusivity and exclusivity when

testing cross reactors

Consider both robustness and ruggedness
