It is probable that a similar protocol may be useful for producing dipsticks reactive<br />

solely with ei<strong>the</strong>r putrescine or cadaverine. Preliminary results in our laboratory using<br />

partially purified bacterial putrescine oxidase in place of <strong>the</strong> diamine oxidase resulted in a<br />

stick that was reactive with putrescine, but not histamine or cadaverine.<br />
