The Chinese government and two leading food manufacturers are using Applied Biosystems's mass spectrometry-based methods to identify melamine-contamination in food.
More than 94,000 infants and young children in China have been treated for health issues related to melamine contamination of tainted infant formula and other products.
China is responding to this issue with a series of actions that include increased food-safety testing.
The Chinese government and industry are protecting food by using enhanced testing procedures that require laboratory instrumentation capable of precise identification of melamine and other contaminants.
