Polyphenol Additive - Eliminate Matrix Interference in Allergen Testing

The Polyphenol Additive is a specialized reagent that neutralizes polyphenol and tannin compounds interfering with allergen detection in complex food matrices. Food safety professionals testing chocolate, cocoa products, tea-based foods, and wine can prevent false-negative results during lateral flow testing. The additive integrates seamlessly into sample preparation workflows with AlerTox® Sticks kits, ensuring accurate allergen detection in polyphenol-rich samples. By mitigating matrix interference that inhibits antibody binding, this reagent enables reliable cleaning verification and ingredient testing in confectionery and beverage production environments where accurate allergen results are critical for consumer safety.
