RIDA®QUICK Gliadin (ready to swab)
Art. No. R7005
Product info about RIDA®QUICK Gliadin (ready to swab)
Intended use
Fast and simple qualitative LFD test method for the detection of gluten by direct swabbing of surfaces!
Ensures safe, fast and simple qualitative analysis of gluten on surfaces and in clean-in-pace (CIP) waters.
The kit variant RIDA®QUICK Gliadin (ready to swab) (Art. No. R7005) only contains materials required for surface swabbing and CIP water testings. For food sample testing, the RIDA®QUICK Gliadin (Art. No. R7003) or RIDA®QUICK Gliadin (single packaged) (Art. No. R7004) need to be used.
RIDA®QUICK Gliadin (ready to swab) is an R5-based immunochromatographic test for the qualitative determination of gluten-contamination. The test has been developed for the detection of low amounts of gluten (contamination). No high-dose-hook-effect is observed at high concentrations.
The RIDA®QUICK Gliadin has the following international certificates/approvals:
- AOAC-RI: PTM certification no. 101702 (for swabbing and cleansing waters)
- AOAC-OMA (2015.16) for corn-based food matrices using ethanol or Cocktail (patented) extraction
- AACCI – international approved method 38-60.01
Benefits:
- Only qualitative immunochromatographic lateral flow test using the R5 antibody on the market.
- Test strip can directly be used for surface swabbing (no external swab needed).
- Easy documentation by use of the RIDA®SMART APP Allergen (available in the Google Play Store) and availability of cloud solution.
We offer three different kit package variants, all containing the same test strip:
- RIDA®QUICK Gliadin (Art. No. R7003) – 25 strips in a reclosable tube, 25 plastic pipettes, 30 vials, one buffer bottle
- RIDA®QUICK Gliadin (single packaged) (Art. No. R7004) – 25 strips single packaged, 30 vials, one buffer bottle
- RIDA®QUICK Gliadin (ready to swab) (Art. No. R7005) – 25 strips single packaged, 25 vials pre-filled with buffer
General Information
The use of gluten in foodstuffs is extremely common because of its useful effects on e.g. texture, moisture retention and flavor. However, gluten intolerance disorders like coeliac disease require a permanent gluten-free diet to avoid clinical symptoms. According to the Codex Alimentarius (CODEX STAN 118-1979) foods for special dietary use for persons intolerant to gluten may contain up to 20 mg/kg gluten to be tolerated by celiac patients. Foods containing < 20 mg/kg gluten can be labelled “gluten-free”.
The threshold of 20 mg/kg has been adopted by national legislations in many countries. Gluten of wheat, rye and barley is a mixture of prolamin and glutelin proteins. Prolamins from wheat are named gliadins. The prolamine content of wheat gluten is defined as 50% (CODEX STAN 118-1979).
The official type I method for gluten determination of the Codex Alimentarius is an ELISA, which uses the R5 antibody in combination with a special extraction buffer, the Cocktail (patented) (Mendéz method). The RIDASCREEN® Gliadin ELISA (Art. No. R7001) fulfills this requirement. The RIDA®QUICK Gliadin test strips also use the R5 antibody and show a good correlation with the official method R5 ELISA RIDASCREEN® Gliadin. Only R-Biopharm AG is authorized to use the R5 antibody in immunochromatographic lateral flow tests.
