Detection and differentiation of nut DNA
The incidence of allergic diseases has been increasing since the 1970s. This trend is especially evident in countries with a Western lifestyle. Genetic factors, but also changes in living conditions and various environmental influences increase the risk of developing an allergy.
Detection of fish, crustaceans and molluscs
Fish and seafood are among the most common food allergens, along with nuts, eggs, cow’s milk, fruit, soya and other foods. It is estimated that approximately 2.2% of the global population is affected by an allergy to fish, while around 2% of individuals are allergic to seafood.
