This removes any allergens down to undetectable levels. K&R thoroughly washes the raw material for hours prior to manufacturing their gelatin and collagen. From the other 22 lots, the one with the highest concentration contained 0.15 µg g(-1) of parvalbumin. Richard Norland, vice president, Norland Products, said: The allergen in fish is a water-soluble protein. From 95 commercial lots of fish gelatin it is shown that 73 are below 0.02 µg g(-1) parvalbumin. Washing of the skins, a common industrial procedure during the manufacturing of fish gelatin, reduced the level of parvalbumin about 1000-fold to 0.5 µg g(-1), or 0.5 ppm. The data show that the parvalbumin content in cod muscle tissue is 6.25 mg g(-1), while the skins contained considerably less, 0.4 mg g(-1). Fish gelatin, wine and beer, matrices for the potential use of this ELISA, did not cause disturbance of the assay performance. The ELISA was sufficiently sensitive (LLOQ = 0.8 ng ml(-1) in extracts, corresponding to 0.02 µg of parvalbumin per g of tissue), and did not cross-react with common food constituents. The ELISA was applied to measure parvalbumin in cod skin, the starting material for fish gelatin made from deep sea, wild fish. The antibodies were tested for specificity and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed using these antibodies. Its manufacturing assets include semiconductor fabrication of Fabry-Perot, DFB, and VCSEL lasers fiber towers for drawing both silica and fluoride glass optical fibers MBE/MOCVD epitaxial wafer growth reactors extensive glass and metal fabrication facilities thin-film deposition capabilities and optomechanical and optoelectronic shops.The major allergen parvalbumin was purified from cod muscle tissues, and polyclonal antibodies were raised towards it. As that market has spawned a multitude of technical innovations, Thorlabs has extended its core competencies to serve the photonics industry at the research end, as well as the industrial, life science, medical, and defense segments. Fish gelatin represents one of the important types of gelatins from other sources rather than mammalian gelatins and it may thus be considered as an alternative to mammalian gelatin for use. Thorlabs, a vertically integrated photonics products manufacturer, was founded in 1989 to serve the laser and electro-optics research market.

'The product offering is a natural extension to our Vytran fiber processing competencies, allowing us to provide more sophisticated and automated solutions to address the various inspection needs that arise on the factory floor.' 'We are excited to add the Norland fiber products to our portfolio,' said Alex Cable, president and founder of Thorlabs. Their technologies are used in a broad range of precision applications ranging from telecommunications and medical components to fiber lasers and sensing systems. The Vytran team designs and manufactures an array of products geared towards high-volume optical fiber processing and assembly, including fusion splicers, cleavers, recoaters, and proof testers. The Norland products will be incorporated into Thorlabs' existing Vytran business unit, a 20,000 square foot facility located in Morganville, NJ. Norland develops UV curing adhesives and interferometric test equipment for the fiber-optic industry and distributes a high-purity fish gelatin and fish collagen used in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
