Melamine Test Kits
Graintec now has available for sale a new, highly sensitive AgraQuant® ELISA test kit that has been designed to meet the coming regulatory limits for melamine in food products.

The European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have both concluded that the level of melamine in food products, other than baby food, should not exceed 2.5 mg/kg. Hong Kong has set its maximum concentration limit for melamine in baby food at 1.0 mg/kg, and 2.5 mg/kg for other foods.

The new AgraQuant® Melamine Sensitive immunoassay has been validated for dairy products such as milk, milk powder, yogurt and yogurt drinks. The test’s quantitation range for milk, yogurt and yogurt drinks is 0.1-5.0 mg/kg, and 0.5-25.0 mg/kg for milk powder.
