METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTING ALLERGENS IN A CONSUMABLE

摘要

An embodiment of a method for detecting a target substance in a consumable sample comprises receiving a consumable sample; extracting a test sample including a target of interest from the consumable sample with an extraction buffer; transmitting the test sample to an immunoassay device; generating a first indication characteristic of presence of the target substance in the consumable sample upon interfacing the test sample with a probe configured to react with the allergen constituent at the immunoassay device; generating a second indication characteristic upon interfacing the test sample with a bioconjugate configured to react with the allergen constituent at the immunoassay device; generating an analysis of the indication, including at least one of a presence of and an amount of the target substance present in the consumable sample; and providing information derived from the analysis to a user associated with the consumable sample.
