For people with severe food allergies, the Allergy Amulet takes the uncertainty out of eating by testing for invisible allergens at the point of consumption.
This portable device tests for user-specific allergens, such as peanut proteins, in under a minute. If present, the allergen is captured by cavities on a molecularly imprinted polymer film that match the shape, charge, and other properties of a target region. This animation illustrates how the technology detects the allergen, and sends a signal to the user that the allergen is present.
