Melamine Test Kits

Melamine, a by-product of the coal industry, is a chemical compound frequently used to produce plastics, kitchenware, commercial filters, laminates or coatings. Melamine is very high in nitrogen. This has led to its illegal addition to food and feed for alteration as the high nitrogen content increases the apparent amount of protein in standard measurement procedures.

The AgraQuant® Melamine test kit has been validated for analyzing dried distiller’s grains, soybean meal and pet food. The AgraQuant® Melamine Sensitive test kit is an extremely sensitive ELISA method which has been specifically developed for the detection of melamine in egg and dairy products as well as other foods. These test kits are accurate and reliable enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA).
