Flora Research Laboratories is offering the updated GC-MS Method for Screening and Confirmation of Melamine and Related Analogs Version 2 May 7, 2007 developed by PRLNW and FCC.   This is the most current FDA method for screening wheat gluten, rice protein, corn gluten, and soy protein.   Currently, we are evaluating the suitability of this method for amino acid products.   Check back to this website or contact us for more details.   FRL has extensive expertise in melamine testing.   This new test screens for urea, cyanuric acid, biuret, ammeline and ammelide.  

IMPORTANT: If you are responding to an automatic detention or other FDA testing request, please advise the laboratory when contacting us.   The FDA ORA Section 7 requirements must be satisfied and require extensive additional documentation and supporting analytical data.   Please see our Urgent News page for more details.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY having testing conducted that will not meet the FDA requirements.   These requirements are very specific and the laboratory must be familliar and experienced with the submission of private laboratory data that must comply with ORA Section 7.   If the data or sampling process fails to meet these requirements, your data may be rejected by FDA.
