AccuSift provides high-performance tartrazine (Yellow 5) competitive assay pairings, characterized by exceptional batch‑to‑batch consistency and optimized for IVD kit development (Lateral Flow, Chemiluminescence, ELISA, POCT). These pairings offer high affinity and specificity, facilitating rapid detection.Tartrazine is an acidic synthetic colorant used in beverages, candies, pastries, jellies, ice cream, pharmaceuticals, and other foods to improve appearance. It is also employed as a coloring agent in medicines and cosmetics, for dyeing wool and silk, and in the production of lakes.Small amounts of tartrazine are metabolized and excreted, but it provides no nutritional value. Long‑term consumption of foods containing excessive tartrazine may pose health risks. According to GB 2760‑2024, the National Food Safety Standard for the Use of Food Additives, tartrazine is not permitted in dried vegetable products. Adverse reactions to tartrazine include urticaria, asthma, and angioedema, with potential life‑threatening effects.Performance Characteristics:
