Melamine is a trimer 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. The TriboTM Melamine test strip provides a convenient test to screen milk samples. It allows for fast (result shown in 10 minutes), simple (direct analysis for milk without pretreatment or dilution), sensitive and reliable detection of melamine contamination in milk, with sensitivity at 1 ppm of melamine in milk. If necessary, samples requiring regulatory action can be confirmed by HPLC, GC/MS, or other conventional methods.
