Description
Tribo™ Melamine ELISA kit (for milk product and animal feed samples) | TBS21104
Melamine is a trimmer of cyanamide with the chemical formula C3H6N6, and the IUPAC name 1, 3, 5-triazine-2, 4, 6-triamine. It is widely used in manufacturing of plastics, dyes, fertilizers, and textile. Like cyanamide, it is 66% nitrogen by mass, which leads to the practice in various countries of adding “melamine scrap” to animal feed, pet food, or milk in order to give the appearance of increased protein content. This practice can potentially contaminate animal products intended for human consumption like dairy products. Animal and human consumption of melamine could lead to kidney stones and renal failure, causing severe consequences including possible death. TriboTM melamine fast detection ELISA kit allows for fast (entire procedure in 30 minutes), simple (direct analysis for dairy products; only homogenization and water extraction are needed for animal feed or pet food), sensitive and reliable detection of melamine contamination in animal feed, pet food and dairy products such as milk, milk powder and yogurt. If necessary, samples requiring regulatory action can be confirmed by HPLC, GC/MS, or other conventional methods.
