Serum diamine oxidase (DAO) activity as a diagnostic test for histamine intolerance [PDF]
Background Histamine intolerance (HIT) is characterized by an imbalance between histamine intake and the capacity for histamine degradation. The main enzyme for metabolizing ingested histamine is diamine oxidase (DAO). Determining DAO activity in serum may be useful in diagnosing HIT.

Methods for Storing Oxidase Test Reagents [PDF]
Oxidase test reagents are notoriously unstable, but they can be held ready for use if frozen or if reagent-impregnated filter paper is kept dry.

Rapid, modified oxidase test for oxidase-variable bacterial isolates [PDF]
A modified oxidase reagent, 1% tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine in dimethyl sulfoxide, proved superior to the routinely used 1% aqueous tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride in detecting weakly oxidase-positive gram-negative bacteria after 24 h of growth on agar media (40 of 40 positive versus 22 of 40 positive).

APPLICATION OF THE OXIDASE TEST TO REFRIGERATED DELICATESSEN FOODS [PDF]
A total bacterial count, oxidase count, coliform, and yeast and mold count was made on each of 135 samples of delicatessen foods collected at retail outlets and food processing plants. Analysis of the data obtained, primarily through correlation of the total count, oxidase and coliform counts, allowed for an assessment of possible sources of bacterial ...

Rapid oxidase method for testing oxidase-variable Aeromonas hydrophila strains [PDF]
A rapid, same-day oxidase test procedure which obviates the problem of false-negative oxidase reactions of Aeromonas hydrophila removed from the surface of differential media such as MacConkey agar is described. This method allows oxidase testing to be performed within 3 h, rather than delaying the oxidase test for an additional 18 to 24 h.

The oxidase test in yeasts of medical importance [PDF]
The results of an oxidase test were positive with species of Cryptococcus and eight species of Candida, but negative with Candida krusei and species of Saccharomyces and Torulopsis, grown on Columbia Agar base and similar media, including Brain Heart Infusion Agar and Mueller Hinton Agar.

Inhibitory Effect of Fluoride on Glucose Tests with Glucose Oxidase Strips [PDF]
Abstract Sodium fluoride was inadvertently added as a preservative to the urine of an eight-year-old boy with diabetes mellitus before urinary glucose was measured. On preliminary screening of the urine, the test by glucose oxidase paper reagent strip gave a negative reading for glucose, whereas quantitative urinary glucose assay by the ...

Immobilization of Glucose Oxidase on Polypropylene Micro Test Plate
In this paper, we report a precise, reliable, cost effective and sensitive method of immobilization of Glucose oxidase GOx) onto polypropylene microtest plate (PPµTP). Assaying of the immobilized enzyme is carried out by spectrophotometer ¬free image¬ based method.

A COMPARISON OF THE OXIDASE TEST AND THE WISCONSIN MASTITIS TEST FOR THE DETECTION OF ABNORMAL MILK1 [PDF]
An oxidase reaction with tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine hydrochloride (TMPD) was carried out in 179 samples of raw milk. Results of the oxidase test were compared with those of the Wisconsin Mastitis Test (WMT). With an increase in the. WMT value, particularly above 20, the percentage of samples with TMPD in the leuco form increased.
