This is the second food sensor from Nima. They also have a<strong> food sensor for gluten<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It works by adding a pea-sized amount of food into a single-use test capsule, then put into the detector. If there is peanut protein or<strong> traces of gluten<\/strong> in the food sample, a test strip on the capsule will <strong>react in just a few minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During independent lab testing the sensitivity of the sensor showed <strong>100% and 99.2% accuracy<\/strong> when testing for peanuts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It can <strong>detect 10 ppm of peanut and above<\/strong> and 20 ppm of gluten and above. Based on the<strong> European Commission<\/strong>, 20 ppm is considered the standard for gluten-free. And during clinical research studies in patients, 10 ppm was found to be the lowest for adverse reaction level for peanuts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although the device gives rapid and accurate results, Yates expresses that the sensor is not supposed to <strong>replace regular safety measures<\/strong>. It aims to provide additional data about food, but with assistance to normal precautions: talking to waiting staff, carrying allergy medicine and reading labelling.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This sensor offers people a<strong> cheaper<\/strong>,<strong> faster<\/strong> and <strong>more compact alternative<\/strong> to at home test kits.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep sep-none\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-video fusion-youtube\" style=\"max-width:1200px;max-height:600px;\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UGAlmOgYhyU?wmode=transparent&autoplay=0\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep sep-none\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:;margin-bottom:20px;\"><\/div><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; font-size: 10pt;\">References<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; color: #000000;\">CNET.
