New kits have just arrived and I am going to do some tests soon. I will start with a poll and in parallel test some other beers. I was a bit sceptical since Imutest moved to the R5 antibody and changed some procedures. Still I am not convinced that it is the right way, hence I will use the new kits to verify the reliability. R5 is a newer antibody compared to Skerritt (which was used before by Imutest) and recognises the gliadin component of gluten. Is it the best antibody for barley containing products like beer? I don’t know to be honest. Anyway, tests are coming soon – stay tuned.
