Delta Instruments has developed a screening method for its FTIR instruments to detect melamine in raw milk.
Successful field tests have been carried out to check on possible adulterated raw milk.
The screening method uses Delta Instruments NPN-CU (non-protein nitrogen-calculated urea) approach and has been given the parameter name NPN-calculated melamine (NPN-CM).
The Combiscope FTIR 400 precision analyser from Delta Instruments is capable of measuring added melamine with this screening method.
Designed to meet the analysis needs of dairy herd improvement and payment laboratories, the Combiscope FTIR 400 analyses raw milk for fat, protein, lactose, total solids or non-fat solids as well as somatic cell count.
