Abstract
A histamine diagnostic assay device is provided in which glass microfibers treated with a polar organic polymer are deposited onto a carrier and used to selectively bind histamine in a sample. The polar organic polymer reduces the affinity of the glass microfibers for interfering components of the sample while substantially retaining the histamine-binding capacity. Preferably, the glass microfibers are provided as a conglomerate with the polar organic polymer. An agent which induces the release of histamine from cells in the sample may be included in the device.
