Reading Scientific Services Limited (RSSL) said that it is adding a third technique to the armory of tests it can use to detect melamine.
RSSL announced earlier this week that it had developed two test methods for melamine based on Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved screening and quantitative analysis using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS).
According to Jacinta George, commercial development manager, RSSL, the enzyme linked immunoassay (ELIZA) technique it is now also offering food importers, food ingredient companies and food manufacturers for melamine detection of their products will enable an initial "look and see" method of testing for the contaminant.
