Biogenic Amines


Naturally occurring biogenic amines in plants, animals and humans play a crucial role as tissue hormones or neurotransmitters. There are five established biogenic amine neurotransmitters: the three catecholamines - dopamine, norepinephrine (noradrenaline), and epinephrine (adrenaline) - and histamine and serotonin. Neurotransmitters are prominent participants in the etiology of many peripheral and central nervous system disorders.

We offer a portfolio of Biogenic Amines (ELISAs and RIAs) which is applicable for the diagnosis of e.g. Pheochromocytoma, burn-out syndrome, cardiac diseases, hyper- and hypotensia and carcinoid syndrome.
