RIDASCREEN®FAST Senf/Mustard is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative analysis of mustard in meat and sausages, oils, mayonnaise and other food.

All reagents required for the enzyme immunoassay - including standards - are contained in the test kit.

For in vitro use only.

General Information:

Mustard is a popular spice that contains mustard oil, glycosides and more than 20% proteins. These proteins can trigger allergies and must therefore be declared in many countries, e.g. in the member states of the European Union (Regulation (EU) No. 1169/2011). Mustard can be present in many foods due to a cross contamination in the production process (especially if spices have been used in the product).
