3M Clean-Trace Allergen Surface Protein (ALLTEC60) 60 Swabs

3M™ Clean-Trace™ Surface Protein (Allergen) ALLTEC60

Residues remaining on surfaces indicate poor cleaning and could contain potentially allergenic proteins, which could lead to product contamination.
3M Clean-Trace Surface Protein (Allergen) is a simple method of checking for removal of protein residues after cleaning. As the majority of allergens are proteins, if a surface is found to be protein-free, it is also free of protein-based allergens.

Simple and very sensitive swab test for the detection of protein residues on surfaces and in solution. 60 test swabs per case. Requires a Heating Block or similar, set to 131°F (55°C) for 15 minutes.

Checking for removal of protein residues after cleaning can quickly identify contamination. As the majority of allergens are proteins, if a surface is found to be virtually protein-free, it indicates low risk of allergens being present. Validated for a range of allergenic proteins, including egg, milk, gluten, soy and peanut.

• Helps to reduce the risk of a food safety incident - food residues could contain allergens and potentially contaminate allergen-free product
• Detects as little as 3μg of protein on surfaces and in solution
• Validated for a range of allergenic proteins, including egg, milk, gluten, soy and peanut
• Visual reading of a color change indicates the presence of detectable levels of protein
• Fast results allow immediate corrective action
• Can be integrated into your Allergen Management Program - risk areas can
  be monitored for cleaning effectiveness
• As an additional benefit, it can help to reduce the risk of bacterial contamination food residues on surfaces provide nutrients for spoilage or pathogenic bacteria to thrive
• Clear multiple allergens in one test
• 3M id: GH-6205-3528-2
• Storage Temperature: 35.6 to 77°F (2 to 25°C)

Instructions:

1. Swab surface firmly. If the surface is dry, wet the swab with the moisturizer supplied in the kit
2. CLICK: Activate the swab and shake from side to side for 5 seconds
3. HEAT: Place the swab into a Heating Block or similar, set to 131°F (55°C) for 15 minutes
4. INTERPRET RESULTS: Purple color indicates dirty
