Allergen-PTs
(qualitative / quantitative with z-scores and recovery rates)
-
Accredited Programs -
ptAL01
- 09: Two Samples (25g each) with Allergens
in
a Food
Matrix,
as pastry, chocolate ice cream or boiled sausage are provided for
qualitative
and
quantitative
determination.
One of these samples contains the incurred allergen(s). The third
"Spiking
Level Sample"
(15g)
contains
the same allergens in simple matrix without further processing
with similar amounts. The evaluation
of
results will be qualitative
and
quantitative.
For information DLA calculates a recovery
rate
and
recovery
z-scores
for
the "positive"-sample and the "Spiking Level
Sample".
Any
suitable method
can
be
applied
for
analysis.

Allergen Swab
Test (qualitative) - Wipe Test for Surfaces
ptASW1-3:
There are 2 samples of
a Test Surface with Allergens offered for the
detection of each allergen by means of a wipe test (swab test).
The allergens to be tested were attached to one test surface,
while the other test surface is "negative". The
evaluation is exclusively qualitative
(positive/negative) with indication of the obtained agreement with
the consensus values of the participants and the spiking of the
surfaces. As an analytical test method, the
Lateral-Flow-Test is particularly suitable.
ELISA, PCR and LC/MS can also be used.
