Histamine Test 61341

  • Histamine assay
Histamine Test

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.

Caution
  • The reagent can not be used for purposes other than voluntary health inspection and research applications.
  • This measurement, instruments and EDTA solution such as a micro pipette in addition to this kit and the absorbance meter is required.
  • Histamine is easy to adsorb to the glass. Please use the plastic tube or the like.
  • This kit is a histamine assay kit for raw fish. However, by varying the pretreatment method, it is the case that can be adapted to samples other than raw fish.
