Romer Labs, founded in Washington, MO, in 1982, is a leader in diagnostic solutions for food and feed safety. It develops, manufacturers and markets test kits for food allergens, mycotoxins, veterinary drug residues and other food contaminants. The company also operates four accredited full-service laboratories on three continents. Romer Labs has facilities in Austria, Brazil, China, Malaysia, Singapore, UK and the USA. For more than 30 years, Romer Labs has been a trusted partner for the food and feed industry worldwide.
The brand-new test kits use Romer Labs proprietary gluten detection technology, which employs a next generation antibody, called G12. The method represents a quantum leap in gluten detection as it targets the most immunotoxic proteins for those intolerant to gluten. This approach should be considered to be closer to the ideal of a food safety test as it establishes the important link between celiac disease and the detection of the immunotoxic peptides in food. The G12 antibody is also more reliable for processed food such as cookies or baby food, as it determines the pathogenic component of the sample, independently to what grade the ingredients have been modified during the manufacturing process.
The AgraStrip® Gluten G12 kit has an adjustable cut-off level for qualitative screening at either: 5 ppm, 10 ppm or 20 ppm gluten while the AgraQuant® Gluten G12 ELISA quantitates levels of gluten between 4 and 200 ppm. Both kits will improve gluten detection, supporting controls and labeling.
