Government regulators and food manufacturers continue monitoring the milk supply globally, utilising advanced analytical technologies to help ensure food & beverage safety.
The new method from AB Sciex to test for DCD is designed to increase the accuracy and reduce the amount of time to identify dicyandiamide and other nitrogen-rich compounds from hours to just minutes, with limits of quantitation down to low µg/kg.
AB Sciex’s new method is an efficient and highly sensitive method available for virtually any laboratory to use.
This method is relevant in light of the recent news reports that trace amounts of DCD, a fertiliser residue, were found in dairy products produced in New Zealand. Responsible actions were taken across the industry last month to avert a contamination crisis.
