Given are the mean values of the single measurements. The determination of the protein content is based on 4 single measurements, that of the latex allergen and the Hev b 1 contents as double measurements, and the determination of the single allergens Hev b 3, 5, and 6.02 as a single measurement. The negative control (G01) could only be extracted with the IPA method and not with the EN method. If all single measurements were below the detection limit, the content is indicated by ND (not detectable).
