Lateral Flow Cashew (Art. No. BLH710-15) with included hook line from Bioavid is an immunochromatographic test for sensitive and qualitative detection of Cashew-residues on surfaces (e.g. swab tests for hygiene control in food production lines), in cleaning/process water (CIP water) and food samples. The integrated hook line prevents false negative interpretations of highly positive samples.
Test kits contain everything needed for the analysis. Only for food sample preparation additional materials (mixer and centrifuge/filters) are needed.

Lateral Flow Cashew incl. Hook line is a quick test to detect contamination with cashew nuts. The test can be used for various purposes to detect contamination, such as checking incoming raw materials or the efficiency of cleaning production facilities.
According to Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011, cashew nuts and products thereof must be declared on food. A key challenge in safe and fast lateral flow analysis is false negative results due to very high allergen concentrations in the sample. The hook line on the test strip makes this effect visible. A missing hook line indicates a high allergen content in the sample and can no longer be considered negative.
Bioavid lateral flow sticks are an easy method that enables fast and reliable analysis. The application is very simple and can also be performed by personnel without laboratory training. All test kits can be stored at room temperature and are therefore an ideal tool for direct testing in production facilities or for rapid food testing.
Strongly colored, polyphenol/tannin containing, oily or acidic/alkaline samples should be extracted with Absorbent Buffer (Art. No. BS810-25) to avoid false positive results and minimize matrix effects.
