Allergen-Shield Almond is a highly specific sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) designed for the rapid and reliable determination of almond residues in food products labeled as almond-free. When paired with the optional Surface Swabbing Kit, the method extends beyond product testing to include environmental monitoring, allowing users to easily assess surface contamination by allergens and support robust cleaning validation procedures.
