β-lactoglobulin (Milk )

Sample to be analyzed for β-lactoglobulin allergens is treated with specialized buffer to extract proteins. Extract is then tested using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based methods and reported as parts per million (PPM) for β-lactoglobulin. This is one of two allergens analyzed for Total Milk.
