When it comes to food safety, what you can’t see can absolutely hurt you. Invisible residues—especially protein contamination—on work surfaces, utensils, and equipment can be a silent threat, not just to public health but to your brand’s reputation and regulatory compliance.
Enter the Macherey-Nagel INDIPRO Test Kit—a rapid, user-friendly solution to detect protein contamination on surfaces. Available now on Vendart, INDIPRO helps food producers, commercial kitchens, and hygiene-sensitive industries verify cleanliness instantly, so nothing gets left behind.
What is the INDIPRO Test Kit?
The Macherey-Nagel INDIPRO Test Kit is a simple, on-the-spot protein detection system. It’s designed to help food safety professionals, auditors, and facility managers identify even small traces of protein—a key indicator of inadequate cleaning or cross-contamination.
Each kit comes complete with:
- Protein-reactive test strips
- Two reagents (liquids A & B) for the chemical reaction
- Clear instructions for ease of use
Whether you’re working in food processing, pharmaceutical production, or hospital catering services—if hygiene is non-negotiable, INDIPRO should be your frontline tool.
Why Protein Testing Matters in Food Safety
Proteins are often left behind after the handling or processing of meat, dairy, eggs, and other high-risk foods. If not properly cleaned, these residues can:
- Act as breeding grounds for bacteria like Listeria, Salmonella, and E. coli
- Cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals
- Violate HACCP, BRC, or FSANZ hygiene standards
Visual inspection isn’t enough. Even surfaces that look clean can carry microscopic protein traces that pose real threats. That’s why rapid test kits like INDIPRO are so critical for preventive hygiene protocols.
How INDIPRO Works: The Detection Process
Using INDIPRO is as easy as it is effective. Here’s how it works:
- Moisten the test area
Use a drop of distilled water to dampen the surface if dry.
- Rub the test strip on the surface
Apply gentle pressure to cover the contact zone.
- Apply Reagents A and B
Add a few drops of each reagent to the test strip.
- Observe the colour change
- No color: Surface is protein-free
- Blue to violet coloration: Presence of protein detected
Reaction time is quick—you’ll have clear results in under 1 minute.
