Food allergens - Matrix Reference Materials

Ensure analytical accuracy with PriboLabTM Allergen Matrix Reference Standards. Essential for ELISA/qPCR validation, recovery studies, and EU 1169/2011 audit compliance.

In high-stakes allergen analysis, the accuracy of quantitative data depends entirely on the integrity of your calibration. PriboLabTM Matrix Reference Standards provide the critical benchmarks for laboratory precision, enabling the rigorous validation of ELISA, qPCR, and LC-MS/MS methods.

The Foundation of Method Validation

Reference materials are indispensable for ensuring that analytical results are accurate, reproducible, and legally defensible. Whether performing Product-Specific Verification (PSV) or routine internal quality control, our standards allow you to account for matrix interference and extraction efficiency.

  • Matrix Matching: Standards are developed in diverse food matrices (e.g., milk powder, chocolate, or flour) to accurately mimic real-world testing conditions.
  • Metrological Traceability: Prepared with meticulous attention to traceability, ensuring alignment with international safety guidelines and ISO 17025 requirements.
  • Certified Values: Each standard is accompanied by comprehensive documentation specifying the concentration of target allergen proteins, providing a definitive "True Value" for your assays.

Advanced Laboratory Applications

PriboLabTM Reference Standards are engineered for facilities that demand the highest levels of scientific justification in their safety strategies:

  • System Calibration: Validating that ELISA readers and qPCR thermocyclers provide accurate signals across the entire dynamic range.
  • Recovery Studies: Calculating the "Recovery Rate" of allergens in complex matrices where ingredients may mask detection signals.
  • Proficiency Testing: Benchmarking internal laboratory performance and technician proficiency to maintain GFSI and audit-ready status.
  • LOD/LOQ Verification: Empirically confirming the Limit of Detection and Limit of Quantification for your specific laboratory environment.
