With the launch of the new AgraApp, Romer Labs®, a leading global food-safety diagnostic company, further expands its product portfolio for allergen testing solutions.

The new AgraApp enables customers to analyze and document food allergen results obtained with AgraStrip® Brazil Nut, Almond, Cashew, Hazelnut, Macadamia Nut, Peanut, Pistachio and Walnut.

The procedure is simple: With the smartphone, the user can take a picture of the test strip result. The AgraApp matches the colour of the test line to a given colour palette in the app, allowing the output of a semi-quantitative result. The picture together with the result will be stored on the smartphone and can instantly be forwarded by mail to the computer. Furthermore detailed test kit instructions, FAQs, a stop watch, re-order forms as well as technical support information make the AgraApp a suitable tool.

AgraApp is free of charge and can be downloaded easily in the Apple App Store.

The app has been developed by Romer Labs UK Ltd with the aid of funding from the UK’s innovation agency, the Technology Strategy Board, as part of a project focused on analysis of allergens with Micromass UK, LGC and the University of Manchester.

With its LFD and ELISA testing solutions Romer Labs has the largest allergen product portfolio currently available on the market and offers tailored one-stop solutions for all diagnostic needs and outstanding support for customers on an international level. With fully accredited ISO 17025 service laboratories in Austria, United Kingdom and United States, Romer Labs also offers analytical services for a wide range of allergens.
