General Analytical Needs
•
Detection of the most popular allergens at around 10ppm
in a given food sample in a cost effective manner.
•
A screening technique that can cover the most important
allergens.
•
High confidence analysis with minimal‐to‐no false
positives and false negatives.
Challenges
•
Current ELISA methods appear to be
cost‐effective, but they result in some
false positives and false negatives.
•
ELISA kits can detect only one allergen at a time.
•
ELISA kits have served the industry very well with good
sensitivity and cost‐effectiveness…but there is a better
way…LC/MS/MS.
