Gluten test kit: Proteon Gluten Express

HOW DOES THE GLUTEN TEST KIT HELP YOU?

The speed and simplicity of the Proteon Express tests allow adapting the allergen analysis to the time and place you need. Having specific information will allow us to make immediate decisions between productions, detect insufficient cleanings, control critical points of contamination and ensure the release of your product to the market without risk.
Although rapid test are also very efficient to control post-cleaning contaminations in shared facilities. Flours formed aerosols and remain floating in the environment. These particles in suspension are slowly placed on working surfaces and even in nearby spaces after cleaning.
