EFRACs comprehensive canvas of Allergen and Intolerance Testing Services utilizes Chemical, Enzymatic, Molecular Biology and Immunological Methods to test for Proteins, Lactose, DNA and Sulphites, by functionalizing (based on) appropriate Testing combinations for complying with specified  needs.

Immunological Testing for Allergen antibodies is common and routine. Real Time PCR or quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) – a highly sensitive Molecular Biology technique with ultra-trace detection capabilities and limits in ppm range, enables Multi Allergen Testing and also of processed or heat treated Food.
