HOW DOES IT HELP YOU?
Proteon Egg allows to quantify the content of egg in any kind of food samples in 30 or 90 minutes. Thus, you can comply with your quality requirements within the appropriate time. Concentration values will let you estimate the risks of your product against the VITAL criterion.

APPLICATIONS AND USERS
ASSAY PROCEDURE
TEST PRINCIPLE
Proteon Egg is an ELISA sandwich for the detection of egg, based on the binding of ovoalbumin, present in the samples or standards, to a specific antibody immobilized onto the surface of the wells. This specific binding can be visualized later by applying an enzyme-antibody conjugate. The enzyme will react with a specific substrate and a colorimetric substrate will develop. The quantity of ovoalbumin in the sample or standard will be directly proportional to the intensity of colour in the final product.
