RAD | A study for the technical and business feasibility of a fast-acting consumer test to detect gluten and other contaminants in food.

Summary
Due to the health risk for those suffering from Celiac Disease and other intolerances, Allogen Biotech Ltd.’s Rapid Allergen Detector (RAD) kits can detect a range of protein-based allergen in food or cosmetics, in a compact portable reader and disposable testing strips. The kits are versatile, with a cartridge-based reagent to identify and concentrate allergens for detection, and an accurate reader that can provide quantitative readouts for industrial users or a simple “traffic light” system for consumer model users. Results are available in 10 seconds or less, a reader can be used for over 10,000 tests, and test strips are simple to use, with a low cost.
