Description

Melamine-13C3 is a stable isotope-labeled analog of melamine, where all three carbon atoms are the non-radioactive carbon-13 isotope. This compound is essential as an internal standard for precise quantitative analysis in mass spectrometry, ensuring accurate and reliable measurements. It is primarily used by analytical laboratories, research institutions, and quality control departments in the food safety, environmental monitoring, and pharmaceutical industries to detect and quantify trace levels of melamine.

Application

• Internal standard for the accurate quantification of melamine via LC-MS/MS (Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry) and GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry).
• Critical reagent in food safety testing for the detection of melamine adulteration in dairy products, infant formula, and pet food.
• Use in environmental analysis to monitor melamine contamination in water and soil samples.
• Metabolic tracer in biomedical and pharmacokinetic research studies.
• Calibration standard for ensuring regulatory compliance in analytical methods (e.g., FDA, ISO).
• Quality control reference material in the production of amino resins and plastics to trace impurity sources.
