Allergen Indicator Total Protein Test

FLASH® is a room temperature-incubated total protein test that rapidly detects protein residues left on food contact surfaces after cleaning. Used as part of HACCP allergen control program, FLASH® supports process verification requirements that ensure cleaning methods, validated to effectively remove allrgens, are consistently applied. FLASH® has been tested against common allergenic proteins including soy flour, gluten flour, milk powder, egg powder, peanut butter, roasted almonds, raw fish (cod), and raw shrimp.

Important usage guidelines:

  • This FLASH® RT kit allows for visual color detection of total protein after 10 ± 4 minutes incubation at ambient room temperature.
  • This FLASH® RT kit provides total protein detection down to 20 µG. The sensitivity level is based on validation using a reference standard (BSA) that is 100% protein.
  • Refer to the FLASH® Method Summary for further sensitivity data by protein product, which can vary in percentage protein.
