In the fields of biopharmaceutical development, food safety, and immunological research, the accurate detection and quantification of allergens is critical. As the regulatory landscape shifts from crude natural extracts to precise molecular characterization, the demand for high-fidelity testing has never been higher.
Recombinant Allergen, a sub-brand of Creative BioMart, offers premier Allergen Testing Services tailored for industrial and scientific applications. Leveraging our background as an internationally recognized supplier of recombinant proteins, we possess an innate understanding of allergen structure and function. We do not just test for allergens; we engineer the standards used to detect them, providing us with unmatched expertise in validation and analysis.
Important Notice: Our services are strictly for Research Use Only (RUO) and industrial Quality Control (QC) applications (e.g., pharmaceutical raw materials, food processing lines, vaccine development). We do not offer clinical allergy testing or diagnostic services for individual patients.
The reliability of an allergen test is only as good as the reference standard used to validate it. Traditional natural allergen extracts often suffer from heterogeneity, contamination, and batch-to-batch variation.
At Creative BioMart, we bridge this gap. Because we manufacture high-purity recombinant allergens, covering human, animal, plant, and fungal sources, we utilize superior reference materials in our assays. This allows us to offer testing services with higher sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility than standard commercial labs.
Our Competitive Edge:

We employ a "Fit-for-Purpose" approach, selecting the specific analytical platform that best suits your sample matrix and sensitivity requirements.
The Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) remains the workhorse for protein-based allergen detection. We offer both standard and custom-developed ELISA protocols.
When protein targets are denatured by heat or processing, DNA remains a stable marker. Our Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) services detect the genetic material of the allergenic source.
For the highest level of detail, we utilize Liquid Chromatography with Tandem Mass Spectrometry. This method is the "Gold Standard" for confirmatory testing and structural elucidation.
Our analytical services are designed to support clients across the product lifecycle, from R&D to final release.
The transition from natural extracts to recombinant vaccines requires rigorous characterization.
Protecting consumers requires the exclusion of undeclared allergens. We assist manufacturers in verifying raw materials and finished goods.
We support researchers who require deep molecular insights.
We have streamlined our process to ensure fast turnaround times and clear communication.
Q1: Can you test a patient's blood sample to see if they are allergic to peanuts?
A: No. Creative BioMart is a Contract Research Organization (CRO) serving the industry. We do not possess the clinical certifications to diagnose human patients. Our services are for testing materials, products, and research samples only.
Q2: I have a novel recombinant allergen. Can you characterize it?
A: Absolutely. This is our specialty. We can use LC-MS and other biophysical methods to verify the sequence, molecular weight, and structural integrity of your novel protein compared to theoretical models.
Q3: What is the difference between testing for the protein vs. testing for the DNA?
A: Protein testing (ELISA) tells you if the allergenic component that causes the reaction is present. DNA testing (PCR) tells you if the source organism (e.g., a peanut plant) is present. If a product is highly heat-treated, the protein might be destroyed (safe for some, not others) while the DNA remains. We can advise on the best method for your needs.
Ready to elevate the accuracy of your allergen analysis? Whether your focus is quantifying potency for immunotherapy (AIT), validating "Big 9" food safety claims, profiling impurities, or structurally characterizing novel recombinant proteins, our expert team is ready to assist. Leveraging our proprietary high-purity reference standards, we deliver the reliable, high-resolution data needed for critical R&D and QC decisions.
