Electrochemical sensor for melamine based on its copper complex.

A reliable and highly sensitive electrochemical sensor was first developed for analysis of non-electroactive melamine (Mel) based on its conversion to an electroactive complex by coordination of copper salt to Mel. This provides a simple and easy approach to the detection of Mel in milk products.
