Pistachio
Lateral Flow Pistachio
Intended use:
The Lateral Flow Pistachio assay is used for the qualitative detection of Pistachio residues in surface samples got from e.g. production lines. The assay is also applicable for food samples. The assay is applied for the detection of small amounts of Pistachio contaminations.
General Information:
Pistachio contaminations in food possibly elicit hypersensitivity in sensitive persons. Food production lines have to be free of residues to prevent these allergic reactions. The effectiveness of cleaning can be verified by using the Lateral Flow Pistachio Swabbing method.

SureFood® ALLERGEN Pistachio – NEW
Intended use:
The test detects pistachio DNA according to directive (EC) 1169/2011 qualitatively and / or quantitatively. Each reaction contains an internal amplification control.
For the quantitative determination the use of the laboratory reference material SureFood® QUANTARD Allergen 40 containing 40 mg pistachio / kg food sample and a detection system including a standard dilution is required.
For DNA preparation, the use of SureFood® PREP Advanced, protocol 1, is recommended.
General Information:
PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) amplifies the DNA target sequence, which is subsequently detected via fluorescence labelled hybridization probes in real time.
All SureFood® real time PCR kits use FAM/TAMRA labelled TaqMan probes.
PCR protocols are available for:
LightCycler (Roche)
ABI PRISM 7000/7700/7900 SDS (Applied Biosystems)
Mx3000P, Mx4000 (Stratagene)
Rotor-Gene (Corbett Research)
Opticon (MJ Research / Oxoid)
iCycler (Bio-Rad)
Smart Cycler (Cepheid)
Mastercycler ep realplex (Eppendorf)
The PCR kit can be performed all commonly used real-time PCR Cyclers
