General description

Ammelide (AMD), a 1,3,5-triazine compound, is one of the hydrolysis by-products of melamine. It is most commonly found as an impurity in melamine and its structural analog, cyanuric acid feedstocks.
Ammelide can be synthesized via hydrolysis of 2-amino-4,6-dichloro-s-triazine in the presence of acid or base or by the reaction between urea and cyanogen iodide at 130-140 degrees.

Application

Ammelide may be used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in milk, milk products and infant formula using chromatography techniques.
Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.
