Allergen testing detects undeclared allergens like gluten, soy, peanut, and milk in supplements, food, and environmental samples.
Advanced Laboratories runs validated ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) screening that delivers quantitative results in a 5-day turnaround, helping supplement and food manufacturers verify allergen controls, support label claims, and protect allergen-sensitive consumers.
Protect Your Brand with Allergen Screening
Your free-from claims are only as strong as your controls. In shared manufacturing environments, trace cross-contact between production runs can slip through. Routine allergen monitoring gives you documented proof that cleaning and sanitation are working, before product ships.
- Verify the effectiveness of your cleaning and sanitation programs
- Reduce the risk of cross-contact between production runs
- Support free-from and allergen-free label claims
- Protect allergen-sensitive consumers
- Provide documented verification for audits and customer reviews
01 ELISA Allergen Analysis That Removes Guesswork
We run allergen analysis by validated ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay), a sensitive, specific immunoassay that detects trace allergenic proteins and returns quantitative results from our ISO/IEC 17025:2017-accredited labs. ELISA works across finished products, raw materials, in-process samples, and environmental monitoring swabs, so you can verify controls at any point in production.
Verification for Allergen-Free Facilities
If you operate under allergen-free or free-from standards, routine verification testing shows that your allergen controls are working, and it protects your brand. Our results support:
- Free-from product claims
- Supplier qualification programs
- Internal quality verification
- Third-party audits and customer requirements
Common Allergen Questions
Can allergens be tested using environmental swabs?
Yes. Environmental swab testing detects allergen residues on equipment and manufacturing surfaces before a production run, which helps confirm cleaning validation and cross-contact controls. It is a practical way to verify sanitation between products that share a line.
Why do allergen-free facilities still test routinely?
Even facilities designed to be allergen-free can see unintended cross-contact through raw materials, shared equipment, or personnel. Routine testing verifies that sanitation is working and gives you documented evidence to support free-from claims during audits and customer reviews.
What is the difference between gliadin and gluten testing?
Gluten is a group of proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye; gliadin is one of its primary components and the protein most ELISA methods target. Those methods quantify gliadin and apply a conversion factor to estimate total gluten, the standard approach behind gluten-free verification
