Melamine is an organic basic compound that is derived from cyanamide. It contains 66% nitrogen by mass. Addition of melamine is used to increase protein count in milk products. Cyanuric acid is a trimer of cyanic acid. Melamine and cyanuric acid can form a insoluble complex. Both compounds has been linked as additives to modify nitrogen count in products. Cyanuric acid is a slightly acidic hydrophilic compound, while melamine is a basic hydrophilic compound. Both compounds were separated on Obelisc R reversed-phase ion-exchange column with LC/Ms compatible mobile phase. Method can be used for generic analysis of basic and acidic compounds with LC/MS compatible conditions.

Obelisc N
SIELC has developed the Obelisc™ columns, which are mixed-mode and utilize Liquid Separation Cell technology (LiSC™). These cost-effective columns are the first of their kind to be commercially available and can replace multiple HPLC columns, including reversed-phase (RP), AQ-type reversed-phase, polar-embedded group RP columns, normal-phase, cation-exchange, anion-exchange, ion-exclusion, and HILIC (Hydrophilic Interaction Liquid Chromatography) columns. By controlling just three orthogonal method parameters - buffer concentration, buffer pH, and organic modifier concentration - users can adjust the column properties with pinpoint precision to separate complex mixtures.
