AllerFlow Gluten Surface Residue Test

Welcome to Hygiena^®’s instructional video on AllerFlow Gluten, a rapid and convenient environmental gluten residue test for food processing surfaces.

Overview

• Detects gluten from wheat, barley, rye, and oat with no cross-reactivity to soy, rice, or corn.
• Comprises only two components: a sample collection device and a lateral flow cassette.
• Detects as little as 5 µg of gluten, providing results in 10 minutes.
• Shelf life of up to 15 months, stored at room or refrigerated temperature.

Test Procedure

1. Sample Collection
   • Allow the swab to reach room temperature before use.
   • Label the swab tube with the location.
   • Swab a 4x4 inch (10x10 cm) area in a crisscross pattern with consistent pressure.
   • Do not touch the swab shaft to avoid contamination.
   • Insert swab back into the tube, break the snap valve, and release the extraction buffer by squeezing the bulb.
   • Shake gently to mix the sample with the liquid.
2. Transferring to the Lateral Flow Device
   • Label the lateral flow cassette with the test location.
   • Pour the liquid sample into the cassette's fill well until full.

Interpreting Results

• Negative Result: A single blue line (C) means gluten is less than 5 µg—the surface is safe for production.
• Positive Result: A red line (T) alongside the blue control line means gluten exceeds 5 µg—clean and retest.
• Invalid Result: No blue control line—repeat the test with a new device.

Final Notes

• Discard used devices in regular trash.
