Poms, R.E., Agazzi, M., Bau, A., Brochee, M., Capelletti, C., Nordgaard, J.V., and Anklam, E. 2004. Inter-laboratory validation study of five commercially different ELISA test kits for the determination of peanut residues in cookie and dark chocolate. European Commission 2004, GE/R/FSQ/D08/05/2004. 

In 1993, two external interlaboratory studies were conducted using commercially available peanutkits. In North America, three kits (BIOKITS, Ridascreen, and Veratox) were evaluated in three laboratories and the data submitted to the AOAC Research Institute (RI), and Performance Tested Method stams was awarded to all three kits by May of that year (Park et al, 2005). In Europe, Poms et al. (2005) evaluated the performance of five test kits (BIOKITS, ELISA Systems, Prolisa, Ridascreen, and Veratox) to detect and quantify peanut residues in biscuit and dark chocolate at four concentrations (0, 2, 5, and 10 mg peanut/kg) using 31 laboratories in 14 countries.
