Histamine Quick Test Strips

food and beverages

2-8℃

This kit is suitable for the detection of histamine in food and beverage samples.

Histamine (C₅H₉N₃) is a biogenic amine naturally present in many foods and body cells in amounts without toxicological significance. It is also a contaminant mostly found in Scombridae family fishes, such as tuna and mackerel, as well as other seafood products when they are improperly handled or stored. The consumption of foods containing high levels of histamine may lead to an allergylike food poisoning known as scombroid poisoning.

The Histamine Quick Test Strips are based on the histamine dehydrogenase catalyzed oxidation of histamine in which the formed electron mediator reduces a formazan (MTT) reagent. The intensity of the product color is directly proportional to histamine concentration in the sample.
