AgraStrip® Gluten G12®
The AgraStrip® Gluten G12® test kit is a lateral flow device (LFD) designed for the on-site detection of gluten in raw materials, finished food products and beverages, rinse waters and environmental samples. The G12® antibody represents the next generation of gluten testing as it targets toxic peptides that trigger auto-immune reactions in people suffering from celiac disease. It is a monoclonal antibody that was raised against the immunotoxic 33-mer peptide from the gliadin fraction in gluten. Results obtained from immunochemical test systems based on the G12® antibody should be considered to be closer to the ideal of a food safety test as they establish the important link between celiac disease and detection of the immunotoxic peptides.
