Histamine assays for seafood analysis
Histamine is a product of decomposition of histidine caused by the growth of certain bacteria in seafood. Fish containing high levels of histamine has been associated with many examples of poisoning commonly referred to as “scombroid poisoning,” a major health problem for consumers. LDN´s trademark HistaSure™ stands for a group of assays based on ELISA technology for the quantitative and/or semi-quantitative determination of Histamine in seafood – especially for all different kinds of fish samples.
The corresponding sample preparation protocols are based on simple extractions with water and follow the AOAC Official Method 937.07. On a regular base LDN participates at external quality assessment schemes such as FAPAS – and to date always with success.
All assays only need a minimal amount of lab experience and equipment
