Restaurant-based test kit for people with severe food allergies
This table service allergen kit allows users to sample their own food and be assured it is allergen-free. A sample of food is taken and added to a solution to ensure any allergens are extracted.
The sample solution moves along the Lateral Flow Immunoassay in the dipstick. A positive result is shown by the presence of a coloured line. The colour depth is equal to the allergen amount.
Insertion of the dipstick into the reader is required to give a quantitative result of the colorimetric change. This information is presented to the user clearly and concisely via a screen.
The product is part of a restaurant-based service to ensure accessibility and risk-free dining for all users. A range of dipsticks would be available to detect major allergenic proteins.
