title: High-throughput trace melamine analysis in complex mixtures.
abstract: Ambient ionization using a low-temperature plasma (LTP) probe combined with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) allows detection and quantitation of melamine in milk powder, whole milk and other products at levels down to low ppb in analysis times of a few tens of seconds.
