Business Insider
The Allergy Amulet is essentially a two-piece allergen detection kit. A small case, which can be worn on a necklace, bracelet, watch, or cell phone case, contains a disposable strip that can be inserted into a dish. The strip has microscopic cavities on it that match the molecular shape of the unique proteins in a given allergen. When you insert the strip into a reader — that's the second part of the kit — the device will flash and buzz if the strip picked up any of the hazardous proteins.
