Development of liquid-solid extractions with clean-up procedures for determination of emerging contaminants in vegetables, fruits and beverages

Description

Development of analytical methods for different classes of emerging contaminants (e.g., steroid hormones and fluoroquinolones) at low concentration in vegetables, fruits and beverages by coupling ad-hoc liquid-solid extractions with clean-up procedures followed by selective determination in HPLC-MS/MS.
