RIDASCREEN® Histamine

Intended use:

RIDASCREEN® Histamine is a competitive enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative analysis of histamine in white and red wine, sparkling wine, milk, cheese, fresh fish, canned fish and fish meal.

General Information:

Histamine is a product of the decomposition of histidine caused by the growth of certain bacteria in protein rich food like fish, cheese, meat as well as sparkling wine, wine and beer. The amount of histamine formed depends on the bacterial species, the temperature and time of exposure, and may exceed 1000 ppm (mg/kg). Fish containing high levels of histamine have been associated with poisoning commonly referred to as “scombroid poisoning”. Quality control measures have to be taken to minimize the occurrence of histamine contaminated fish. Good quality fish contains less than 10 ppm histamine. The limit value for fish and products thereof is 100 mg/kg, in some countries even 50 mg/kg. The Swiss limit value for histamine in wine is 10 mg/l.

RIDA® Sample Decolorant

 

 

Intended use:

RIDA® Sample Decolorant (patent pending EP 160 000 276.2) is used for the preparation of samples, such as:

  • wine for RIDASCREEN® Histamine (Enzymatic) (R1605)
  • liver, feed for RIDASCREEN® Clenbuterol (R1711)

Thereby, RIDA® Sample Decolorant removes interfering substances by precipitation. Thereafter the samples can be analyzed according to the respective instructions for use or application note
