            Q Peanut Allergen in Other Nuts
            Walnuts, cashew nuts, and almonds were analyzed to test specificity. These nuts were spiked with 2 ppm (2 mg/kg) of
            peanut before sample preparation. The spiked peanut peptides were successfully detected and any obvious peak was
            detected in blank samples.

            Q Detection of ARA h1 in Spice Mixes and Seasonings
            Several spice mixes and seasonings were analyzed using sample preparation and analytical conditions described here.
            Peaks of tryptic peptides of Ara h1 from samples without spiking of peanut peptides were detected.
