Egg
Egg allergy is an adverse immune response to proteins found in egg whites, yolks, or both. It is among the most common food allergies in children, though many outgrow it with age. Clinical manifestations vary from cutaneous reactions (such as urticaria or angioedema) to gastrointestinal or respiratory symptoms, and in rare cases, anaphylaxis. Diagnosis typically involves a combination of medical history, skin prick testing, and serum-specific IgE testing. Management requires strict avoidance of egg-containing foods and vigilance in identifying hidden sources, as eggs are present in many processed products. In cases of severe reactions, patients should carry epinephrine for emergency use.
To ensure that food products are safe for individuals with egg allergies, it is essential to analyse the allergen content thoroughly. We offer highly sensitive ELISA tests and user-friendly lateral ow tests specifically designed for the detection of egg proteins in food products. These tests help manufacturers maintain stringent quality control and provide safe options for allergic consumers.
Our ELISA tests are renowned for their sensitivity, allowing for the detection of even trace amounts of egg proteins. These tests are crucial for food manufacturers who need to verify the absence of egg allergens to comply with food safety standards and allergen labeling regulations. Additionally, our lateral ow tests provide a quick and easy method for on-site testing, ensuring that products remain free from contamination throughout the production process.
