Intended use

RIDASCREEN®EASY Crustacean (Art. No. RAE3001) is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative analysis of contaminations by crustacean protein in foods. Hygiene samples can be investigated according to an application note, too.

General Information

Shrimp, crab, prawns, krill, lobster, langouste and crayfish are described as crustaceans. Especially, the muscle protein tropomyosin can cause allergic reactions. Severe sensitizations are not rare. Allergies to crustaceans occur more frequently in adult people and remain there for life. For crustaceans, a reference dose of 10 mg crustacean-protein was determined (Vital concept). Assuming an average protein content of crustaceans of 20 %, this corresponds to 50 mg crustacean. The RIDASCREEN®EASY Crustacean (Art. No. RAE3001)  is thus sensitive enough to enable food allergen labeling according to the VITAL concept.
Crustaceans can be present as an ingredient or as a contamination in raw and processed products. According to the regulation (EU) No. 1169/2011, crustaceans must be declared on food labels as they can induce allergic reactions. Similar regulations exist e.g. in the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
