The Hook Effect

The hook effect or prozone effect is well-recognised immunologic phenomenon where the effectiveness of antibody based assays can impaired when there are high concentration of the target allergen. This can produce false negative results for highly contaminated samples that pose a high risk to allergy sufferers. Samples containing more than 10,000 ppm of gluten may result in a false negative result when analyzed with the
3M Gluten Protein Rapid Kit.

Each test kit comes complete with strips, extraction tubes, an extraction buffer and quick guide.
