EN 17212 Animal Feeds, Sampling and Analysis Methods, Determination of Melamine and Cyanuric Acid Content by Mass Spectrometric Detection Liquid Chromatographic Method

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN 17212 standard. This standard specifies a high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) mass spectrometric (MS) method for the detection and quantification of melamine and cyanuric acid in the concentration range from 1 mg/kg to 100 mg/kg feed.

The method has been validated in an international collaborative study for melamine in pet food, including whole feed, supplementary feed, feed material, milk replacer and canned pet food, specifically in the range of 1 mg/kg to 80 mg/kg based on maximum level.

Since the LC-MS/MS sensitivity for cyanuric acid is lower than for melamine, it must be ensured that the LC-MS/MS system is in perfect working order. The method is applicable to feedstuffs but has not been tested for premixes and feed additives.

Quantification of concentrations above 100 mg/kg is possible, but the method needs to be verified by the operator.
