During the processing of certain products such as glucose syrups, beers and some baby foods, proteolytic enzymes are used that cause the hydrolysis of gluten. In these cases, quantification by means of ELISA R5 Sandwich leads to imprecise results.

 

This limitation of the Sandwich technique led the Gluten Unit to develop a new competitive ELISA R5 technique that enables the exact quantifying of gluten contained in samples that have undergone proteolytic processes. Imbiosis is the only laboratory in the world that offers this technology.
