Food Allergy Forum 2023 – 3^rd International Conference

Join Bruker at the Food Allergy Forum’s 3^rd International Conference in Amsterdam to see the announcement of the AllergenScreener, a food allergen solution that offers unrivaled accuracy, reproducibility, speed and ease-of-use. 

The Bruker AllergenScreener offers food manufacturers and testing labs a predefined, end-to-end, user-friendly workflow that combines sample preparation, screening, and results interpretation – to test multiple samples for all known allergens in a time-saving single run.

Visit Bruker on booth 6 at the Food Allergy Forum 2023 to see the new solution in action.

The AllergenScreener meets the growing need for accurate, high throughput testing in a comprehensive solution. It detects the major food allergens - milk, egg, peanut, hazelnut, almond and walnut - required by the EU; including the major food allergens regulated by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) – all in a single run.

The system offers a simple, five-step workflow:

1. Standardized sample preparation
   Sample preparation is consistent for all food samples, using BeatBox technology to homogenize samples for rapid and robust processing. The automated system optimizes the preparation process for repeatable results.
   
2. Digestion
   Manual or automated digestion with a bolt-on instrument, followed by incubation.
3. Evaporization and redissolving
   Removal of the solvent and redissolving before analysis.
   
4. HPLC / MS-MS analysis
   The AllergenScreener is the only solution that combines the high specificity of high resolution mass spectrometry (MS) with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The combination of these systems allows for the accurate multiplexed analysis of allergens and species.
   
5. Analysis and reporting 
   Rapid data acquisition combined with integrated TASQ^® software automates the analysis, generating data that are visualized clearly in an accessible, at-a-glance report. 

To learn more about the AllergenScreener, book a meeting with a Bruker representative at the Food Allergy Forum.

Data generated in AllergenScreener analysis offers a unique retrospective analysis feature: repurposing the data already generated with no need to re-run the screening process. This can answer a new analytical question using the same dataset should testing needs change.

In the AllergenScreener, Bruker brings its long experience in proven clinical analytical technology to routine food testing application, and has partnered with its innovator, Prof. Dr. Jens Brockmeyer, Head of the Department of Food Chemistry at the University of Stuttgart, to develop the AllergenScreener solution. Prof. Dr. Brockmeyer brings 15 years of experience in food chemistry and an extensive background in food allergen research. 

Prof. Dr. Brockmeyer will present a poster at the Food Allergy Forum to demonstrate the high-performance capabilities of the AllergenScreener and outline the rapid multi-sample analysis for detection of both allergens and species.
