Histamine Enzymatic Assay Test Kit
The MaxSignal™ Histamine Enzymatic Assay Kit is a colorimetric enzymatic assay for the determination of histamine in animal tissue and meat. Histamine is a contaminant sometimes found in seafood when improperly handled. High levels of histamine in seafood can cause scombroid poisoning. Quality tuna has histamine levels below 60 ppm. The amount of histamine can be determined using ELISA or LC-MS. However these traditional methods require very expensive instrumentation and time consuming sample preparation procedures.
The unique features of MaxSignal™ Histamine Enzymatic Assay Kit are:
1. Rapid aqueous extraction method with high recovery.
2. High sensitivity and low detection limit (6 ppm).
3. A very rapid and robust enzyme-based assay which does not require chemical derivatization or expensive instrumentation.
4. High reproducibility.
