Technically, the Food Detective Professional is registered (also with the UK authorities and the Irish Medicines Board) as an in-vitro Diagnostic Medical Device. It is also CE-marked, essentially confirming that it is what it says, and complies with all relevant EU Health & Safety and environmental standards.
The kit contains all needed components
- Antiseptic wipes and plasters
- Two lancets for finger prick
- Two (one spare) industry-standard tiny pipettes (as test-tube)
- 3 Reaction Solutions, marked A, B and C
- 2 large bottles of rinsing solution (marked D)
- One reaction tray, with indentations/wells containing the individual purified food antigens
- One disposal bag
As it is intended for professional use, you will likely be carrying out the test on another person. We can provide a written Standard Operating Procedure, Case Record/Lab report forms and test report forms. Ideally, you would also have access to a timer (or watch, or mobile phone alarm), surgical or rubber gloves, and a sink or basin.
It is also possible for a patient/client to take the blood sample at home and bring the diluted blood sample (already in the appropriate diluent bottle) to a nutritional consultation.
If you are worried about taking the blood sample, contact info@www.nutricentric.com to get our free guide to collecting a blood sample.
If you’d prefer Nutricentric to analyze your samples instead, you can place the full capillary tube in the bottle of Solution A and post it (and the rest of the kit contents) to us. For €25.00, we will analyze the sample and post your results to you.
