LANSING, Mich., Sept. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Neogen Corporation
(NASDAQ: NEOG) announced today that it has launched an improved
test that rapidly detects gluten in food products, raw ingredients,
and environmental samples.
Neogen's new Reveal® 3-D for Gluten screens samples
at 5 parts per million (ppm) gluten in just 5 minutes. The new test
streamlines the testing procedure, simplifying the experience for
the user. In addition, Reveal 3-D for Gluten now offers the
capability of extracting and testing food product and ingredient
samples, in addition to environmental samples and clean-in-place
(CIP) rinses.
"Our new test for gluten makes it even easier for our food
industry customers to test their food products and environment for
gluten — and protect their gluten intolerant and allergenic
customers," said John Adent,
Neogen's president and chief executive officer. "Our customers can
now use a single test to screen food and environmental samples for
the presence of gluten — greatly simplifying that testing. This
important new test further enables our customers to use the same
easy-to-use testing methodology to test for the allergens of most
concern to the food industry."
Reveal 3-D for Gluten offers the option of a specialized buffer
that can be used to extract and test food samples directly, while
not sacrificing the time to result, and maximizing efficiency for
users of the test. This test maintains a three-line test format,
including an overload detection system designed to ensure highly
positive samples are accurately reported.
Neogen also offers screening and quantitative food allergen test
kits for foods identified by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
as being of the most concern, including tests to detect tree nuts
(e.g., almond, hazelnut, pecan, walnut, cashew and pistachio),
eggs, wheat/gluten, milk, peanuts, soy, crustacea (e.g., crab,
lobster and shrimp), and several others.
Neogen Corporation develops and markets products dedicated to
food and animal safety. The company's Food Safety Division markets
dehydrated culture media and diagnostic test kits to detect
foodborne bacteria, natural toxins, food allergens, drug residues,
plant diseases and sanitation concerns. Neogen's Animal Safety
Division is a leader in worldwide biosecurity products, animal
genomics testing and the manufacturing and distribution of a
variety of animal healthcare products, including diagnostics,
pharmaceuticals and veterinary instruments.
