The Histamine test uses a rapid enzymatic assay that is AOAC-validated, easy-to-use and provides a quantitative test result in less than 1 hr. Histamine Test is validated assay for the determination of histamine in tuna, bonito, canned tuna, fish sauce and other products.
Feature
- Simple Just dissolve the reagents and mix with the sample. The analysis is simple and safe. Due to high specificity of the enzyme, no hazardous chemicals-such as strong acids or organic solvents-are needed.
- Rapid The reaction takes only 15 minutes. For raw fish samples, the test can be fully completed-from sample preparation to result- in one hour.
- Accurate AOAC Performance Tested Method(PTM)Certification. The test has been shown to have a high correlation with official laboratory reference methods.
