This book describes the most relevant information related to the chromatographic determination of veterinary drug residues in food, environmental and biological samples, providing the main applications performed in this type of matrices, as well as the main advances related to the chromatographic techniques.

Traditionally mycotoxins are mainly determined by immunoassay screening methods or by single compound chromatographic analytical methods, based on immunoaffinity column cleanup followed by a separation step using thin layer chromatography (TLC), gas chromatography (GC) or liquid chromatography (LC), which were coupled to conventional detectors such as electron capture detection (ECD), fluorescence or UV-visible detection. In some cases, especially when fluorescence detection was used, it was necessary to include a pre- or post-column derivatization step in order to increase the detection...
