Winter 2005: Miss Roben's Analytical Methods To Detect Gluten
- Yearly Celiac branding (undetermined cost)
- In-house qualitative ELISA test each batch
- Neogen's Gliadin Alert® Test for wheat, barley, & rye:
- Qualitative sandwich ELISA (S-ELISA) test
- Shows whether sample contains more or less than 10ppm gliadin than the control provided
- Quarterly quantitative ELISA test via independent lab for confidential analysis (U of Nebraska's Food Allergy Research & Resource Program)
- $80 ($55 members) per test
- Uses two S-ELISA tests for gliadins from wheat & corresponding prolamines from rye & barley.
- Neogen's Veratox Test for Gliadin-provides accurate sample results in 2.5-25ppm with controls provided for 0, 2, 5, 10, & 25ppm
- R-Biopharm's RIDASCREEN® Gliadin (R7001)-tests down to 1.5 ppm gliadin (3ppm gluten)
- Of note: fermented or hydrolyzed samples require special ELISA testing
