AMINE TEST KITS

Amine test kits are simple, easy-to-use devices that test for the presence of biogenic amines. Medical equipment manufacturers produce amine test kits for use as physician equipment in private office and clinics. These devices enable doctors to check rapidly for the presence of substances such as tyramine, histamine and phenylethylamine, which are found sometimes in foods and beverages. Ingesting these substances can lead to effects ranging from headaches to severe hypertension in susceptible people. Amine test kits enable physicians to detect the presence of these substances rapidly and inexpensively in medical office settings.
