FLASH® - Protein Swab
FLASH® Allergen-indicator protein swab is a colour
change swab test that rapidly detects protein residues left on food contact
surfaces post-cleaning.
Most
allergens are proteins, FLASH® provides users with the ability to perform rapid verification of surface hygiene – especially ideal
for use in areas that process multiple allergens, as it detects the “big 8” (gluten, milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, and soybean).
Easy to use
Simply swab
a 10cm x 10cm square using the cross-hatch technique with a FLASH® protein swab, activate, and wait
just 10 minutes for the result
Sensitive
and easy to read
Using the
standard room temperature FLASH® method,
sensitivity is at 20µg after 10 minutes - if allergenic proteins are detected
the liquid will change colour from green to purple. Greater sensitivity can be
achieved using an incubator.
Easy
storage
FLASH® protein swabs are stored at room temperature so
there is no waiting period for the swab to reach ambient temperature prior to
testing
