An easily synthesized fluorescein-based luminescent dye has been utilized for the dual-mode detection of histamine at nanomolar concentrations at pH 7.0 in water. The specific response to histamine was achieved by imidazole-catalyzed ‘imine formation’ reaction. The protocol was subsequently applied for the estimation of histamine in complex biological milieu such as human blood serum and urine samples. Furthermore, the dose-dependent cellular uptake of histamine and de novo synthesis (by thapsigargin treatment) was visualized in RAW 264.7, a mouse macrophage cell line. We have also developed portable paper strips for rapid, on-site detection of histamine without involving costly instruments. An easily synthesized fluorescein-based luminescent dye has been utilized for the dual-mode detection of histamine at nanomolar concentrations at pH 7.0 in water (see figure). The protocol can be used to estimate histamine levels in complex biological milieu such as human blood serum and urine samples.
