Method developers now have a unified roadmap for building and validating gluten detection and quantification tools. AOAC INTERNATIONAL Guidelines for Validation of Qualitative Gluten Methods with Specific Examples – Lateral Flow Devices (SG 2025.001) provides clear expectations for qualitative validation, including cross‑reactivity, POD, matrix studies, and robustness testing.
AOAC INTERNATIONAL Guidelines for Validation of Quantitative Gluten Methods with Specific Examples – ELISA Assays (SG 2025.002) complements this with detailed requirements for quantitative methods, including calibration fit, recovery, precision, LOD/LOQ, and robustness. It also includes examples for ELISA assays and statistical guidance for data analysis.
These guidelines support innovation, reduce ambiguity, and help developers bring reliable, science‑driven tools to market.
