Celiac disease, characterized by autoimmune reactions to dietary gluten, affects up to 3 million in the US and approximately 0.5%-1% globally. A strict, lifelong gluten-free diet is the only treatment. An economic, simple, accurate, rapid and portable gluten testing device would enable gluten-sensitive individuals to safeguard their food safety. We developed a novel solution, Nima?, a gluten sensor that integrates food processing, gluten detection, result interpretation and data transmission in a portable device, detecting gluten proteins at or below the accepted 20?ppm threshold. We developed specific monoclonal antibodies, an optimized lateral flow immunoassay strip, and one-step... More
Celiac disease, characterized by autoimmune reactions to dietary gluten, affects up to 3 million in the US and approximately 0.5%-1% globally. A strict, lifelong gluten-free diet is the only treatment. An economic, simple, accurate, rapid and portable gluten testing device would enable gluten-sensitive individuals to safeguard their food safety. We developed a novel solution, Nima?, a gluten sensor that integrates food processing, gluten detection, result interpretation and data transmission in a portable device, detecting gluten proteins at or below the accepted 20?ppm threshold. We developed specific monoclonal antibodies, an optimized lateral flow immunoassay strip, and one-step aqueous extraction. Compared with reference R5, Nima antibodies (13F6 and 14G11) had 35- and 6.6-fold higher gliadin affinities, respectively. We demonstrated device performance using a comprehensive list of foods, assessing detection sensitivity, reproducibility, and cross-reactivity. Nima? presented a 99.0% true positive rate, with a 95% confidence interval of 97.8%-100%.
