SEAFOOD Test Kits

Neogen is proud to introduce its new line of rapid detection tests for Histamine, Salmonella and Chloramphenicol in the seafood industry. These kits are designed to become effective tools for HACCP Compliance and for Seafood Safety.


ALERT for Histamine™

Alert is a quick screening test which detects histamine in canned and fresh fish. Scombroid poisoning occurs in people and some animals sensitive to histamine. The microbial breakdown of histidine to histamine occurs when certain freshly caught fish are not kept cold. Histamine production is common in fish such as tuna, mahi-mahi, bluefish, mackerel, anchovies, sardines and menhaden, the major ingredient of fishmeal which is used frequently in animal feeds.

Neogen's Alert test is sensitive enough to detect histamine at graded levels from 5 to 15 parts per million for use by canners to 50 parts per million, the FDA Defect Action Level. The Alert test was developed to comply with federal regulations, improve and speed up quality control programs and aid in the implementation of HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) programs.
