Agenda: The practice of adding melamine to animal feed and foods for human consumption in order to increase the apparent protein content has recently been reported. Because melamine can cause serious illness or death, there is increased interest in identifying methods for detecting melamine contamination in a variety of food products.  Join speakers from Molecular Devices and Abraxis for an introduction to melamine detection using Abraxis' enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit and Molecular Devices' absorbance microplate readers.

Topics included:

• Melamine contamination of food: why and how is it detected?
• Abraxis' Melamine ELISA Kit
• Absorbance microplate readers used to detect the Melamine ELISA
• Melamine ELISA data analysis with SoftMax Pro GxP
