Rapid Screening and Confirmation of Melamine and its Analogs in Baby Formula and Soy Products Using Triple Quadrupole GC/MS and Backflushing

Abstract: A rapid method for the screening and confirmation of melamine, ammelide, ammeline and cyanuric acid in baby formula and soy meal was developed using the Agilent 7890A/7000A Series Triple Quadrupole GC/MS and backflushing with a Purged Ultimate Union. The extraction and derivatization procedures are the same as those used in the FDA GC/MS method. Excellent linearity (R2 > 0.99) was obtained in the range of 0.16 to 2.5 ppm, with run times less than 15 minutes.
