RapidChek Histamine Test Procedure

Rapid Detection of Histamine in Just 8 minutes!

Histamine fish poisoning, which results from inadequate preservation and improper chilling practices, resembles an allergic reaction in humans (with symptoms ranging from mild skin discomfort to nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea) but is actually caused by bacterially-generated toxins in fish tissues with high histidine levels. Histamine is a by-product of bacterial degradation of susceptible fish species, including tuna, mahi-mahi, and mackerel, among others, and may also be present in fish sauce, fish milk, milk, and wine.

Ideal for testing of a few samples at a time, RapidChek® Histamine is a ready-to-use kit that can semi-quantitatively detect histamine in fresh and frozen fish, ensuring quality and safety in just 8 minutes.
