Reveal® for Multi-Treenut Test is intended for the qualitative analysis of treenut (almond, cashew, hazelnut, pecan, pistachio, and walnut) residue in clean-in-place rinses and on environmental surfaces.
The test utilises highly specific antibodies to detect almond, hazelnut, pecan, walnut, cashew and/or pistachio proteins. These treenuts can be detected from various surfaces using the provided environmental swabs or from rinses. Utilising the environmental swabs supplied, levels of 5µg/100cm2 of walnut extract, 20µg/100cm2 of hazelnut or cashew extracts, 30µg/100cm2 oil-roasted almond extract and 50µg/100cm2 pecan or pistachio extracts can be detected from Teflon surfaces. When analysing rinses, almond, hazelnut, pecan, walnut, cashew and/or pistachio residues are detectable at a level of 5 to 10ppm. The presence of cleaners and sanitizers can affect the limit of detection (LOD) in rinses.
