Soy Protein ELISA Test kit




Soy Protein ELISA Test kit Intended Use
Soy Protein ELISA kit is a quantitative Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay. This Soy ELISA test represents a highly sensitive detection system on the base of STI and is particularly capable of the quantification of soy residues in cookies, cereals, ice cream, chocolate, instant soups and sausage.




Soy ELISA Kit Components:
• Microplate: 96 wells coated with anti-STI antibodies
• Extraction and sample dilution buffer
• Conjugate anti- STI-peroxidase
• STI standards
• Substrate Solution
• Stop Solution
• Washing Solution




Method Principle
This Diagnostic Automation/ Cortez Diagnostics Inc. Food Soy Protein ELISA Kit is a quantitative test is based on the principle of the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. An antibody directed against STI is bound on the surface of a microplate wells. Soy containing samples or standards are given into the wells. For further details please refer to complete instructions manual supplied with the product.





Background Information
Soy beans with very high protein content belong to the legumes. Many of these proteins are known for being allergenic, such as Gly m1, Glycinin, Kunitz-Trypsin-Inhibitor and Gly m4 which is known to be cross reactive to birch pollen allergen Bet v1. For this reason soy represents an important food allergen. For soy allergic persons hidden soy allergens in food are a critical problem. Even very low amounts of soy can cause allergic reactions, which may lead to anaphylactic shock in severe cases. Because of this, soy allergic persons must strictly avoid the consumption of soy or soy containing food. Cross-contaminations, mostly as a consequence of the production process are representing another problem. The chocolate production process is a representative example. For this reason sensitive detection systems for soy residues in foodstuffs are required. Only a few soy proteins are stable to conventional production processes (for example high temperature). For this reason robust indicator proteins are necessary for detection. Soy trypsin inhibitors (STI) are representing such proteins. This Soy ELISA represents a highly sensitive detection system on the base of STI and is particularly capable of the quantification of soy residues in cookies, cereals, ice cream, chocolate, instant soups and sausage.
