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 plastics, dyes, fertilizers, and textiles. 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.
