DST GmbH manufactures more than 600 food , respiratory/inhalation, environmental, and native major and recombinant allergens at its manufacturing facility in Schwerin, Germany. As the quality of allergens is the basis of all professional allergy diagnostics and the resulting therapy, we ensure high quality and purity of the lyophilized allergen extracts during manufacture. Our allergen catalog ranges from frequently occurring allergens such as birch to rather rare requests such as sea cucumber.
The high quality of allergen extracts is achieved by selecting the best raw materials, and by using standardized, controlled production processes. DST GmbH is certified by TÜV Rheinland. Our customers receive all extracts with a quality certificate that shows the protein content (determined according to Lowry, 1951). DST groups core allergens according to various criteria such as region, season and local eating habits
