Canadian University Finds Chemical Reaction with Melamine

April 27th, 2007

Researchers at University of Guelph say they found a reaction between

melamine and cyanuric acid that may explain why pet are falling ill.

Scientists took laboratory levels of melamine and cyanuric acid

and added them together in a test tube at a PH level that mimics the

environment of the kidneys of an animal.

& #65533;When we did it in the laboratory and it was instantaneous, & #65533;

Melichercik said.

& #65533;What were two clear liquids, when were combined, actually go very

murky and if you leave it for a little bit, these crystals settle out

and you can pick them off and then analyze them. & #65533;

Melichercik explained the process produced a & #65533;chemical

fingerprint & #65533; that allowed scientists to compare their findings with

what was found in the kidneys of sick animals.

& #65533;We overlaid those two fingerprints and they were basically the

same substance.
