BioSystems nutrition and allergen testing kits

BioSystems has released a range of enzymatic/chemical test kits, enabling users to test their food and beverage production for a wide range of constituents.

For example, total sugar can be easily and conveniently analysed with the company’s total sugar kit covering sucrose, fructose and glucose. Preservatives such as ascorbic acid and sulfur dioxide can also be easily analysed with partially or fully automated instrumentation with the Y350 or Y15.

Each kit provides an information data sheet for areas of use, detection limits and linearity limits for all analyses. Users will also find a section containing sample preparation for analysis of a wide range of food and beverage types.

BioSystems also has a wide range of ELISA and rapid test kits available for allergens analysis.

ELISA kits come as 96-well plates for the rapid quantitative analysis of a range of allergies and require the use of a plate reader for analysis. For analysis of smaller numbers of samples, the 96-well plates are perforated to allow only the required number of rows of wells to be used at any particular time.

Rapid test kits provide for a convenient test which gives a qualitative analysis for the presence of the component being tested for. All components required for the test come with each test kit, with no laboratory instrumentation required.
