Clean-Trace® Surface Protein (Allergen) Test Swab, ALLTEC60

Clean-Trace^® Surface Protein (Allergen) Test Swab, ALLTEC60, is a fast and easy way to visually check whether cleaning has been carried out to a satisfactory standard by means of protein detection. By comparing the colour of the swab and solution against the label, the user can easily interpret the results for the presence of allergens. Clean-Trace^® Surface Protein (Allergen) Test Swab, ALLTEC60, is validated for a range of allergenic proteins, including egg, milk, gluten, soy, peanut, almond, and buckwheat. Refrigeration is not required. Swabs can be stored at room temperature (25°C or 77°F). This easy-to-use device requires minimal training. The results are semi-quantitative, with four possible colour interpretations. The faster the test turns purple and the stronger the colour change, the higher the level of contamination on the surface.

Quick detection and confirmation allow immediate corrective action to take place. A visual reading of a colour change indicates the level of cleanliness by detecting as little as 3 µg of allergen on surfaces and in solution. No instrumentation is required to interpret the sample results. This product is easily integrated into company HACCP programmes to monitor for cleaning effectiveness. Its ease of use, reliable detection, and fast, visible results can help teach staff the importance of cleaning.
