We are excited to announce the launch of our new product: Rapid Test Easy for Sesame.

Sesame is considered a priority food allergen according to the CODEX Alimentarius, and many countries also classify sesame as a priority allergen. Monitoring sesame proteins is highly important for the food industry.

With the Rapid Test Easy for Sesame, you can easily detect sesame protein residues on your food production line in just 10 minutes.
