Melamine is an industrial chemical in the production of resins, which are used in laminates,
glues, adhesives and plastics. It has won a sad notoriety as an illicit adulterant to simulate
higher protein levels in milk powder and other food.
The new method to detect melamine contamination in food relies on the high accuracy and
sensitivity of the 844 UV/VIS Compact IC, Metrohm’s all-in-one system for the spectrophotometric
determination of polar substances, anions and cations. Sample preparation is perfectly convenient
due to Metrohm’s patented inline sample dialysis. This kind of Metrohm inline sample preparation
effectively eliminates the organic matrix. The new Metrohm IC Application Note on the determination
of melamine in food by ion chromatography can be
