What Is Rapid Testing?
How the Method Works
The prepared sample migrates along the strip; a specific binding or enzymatic reaction produces a visible line or signal that is read by eye or with a strip reader.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Rapid Testing?
Rapid lateral-flow and strip tests use antibodies or enzyme substrates fixed on a test strip to give a visual or reader-based result in minutes, with minimal equipment.
What does Rapid Testing detect?
Fobeventia Rapid Testing products cover Aflatoxin B1, Almond, Peanut, Gluten/Gliadin, Egg (Ovalbumin), Soy, Casein (Bovine milk) and Buckwheat (and 4 more).
What equipment do I need?
Extraction buffer and consumables, Micropipettes and Timer; optionally Strip reader for semi-quantitative results and Laboratory consumables.
Is Rapid Testing quantitative?
Mostly qualitative or semi-quantitative; a strip reader gives a numerical estimate where the kit supports it.
Which Fobeventia products use Rapid Testing?
Symmetric B1 ES, Symmetric B1 Green, Lateral Flow Rapid Allergen Test, Cry2Ab Rapid Test Strip, N-Light Escherichia coli Test and N-Light Listeria monocytogenes (and 2 more).
When should I choose another method?
- Quantitative batches → ELISA
- Regulatory confirmation → HPLC or LC-MS/MS
