“…That a large number of methods using high performance liquid chromatography is available in the literature stems from the numerous advantages that the method provides (Salgado et al, 2005;Tozo, Salgado, 2006;Moreno, Salgado, 2008;Lopes, Salgado, 2009;Bonfilio et al, 2009;Cazedey et al, 2011;Corrêa et al, 2012;Silva, Salgado, 2012). Many methods described for CFZ up to the moment are directed to its quantification in biological matrices (Wold, 1977;Bayoumi et al, 1986;Nahata, 1990;Liang et al, 1994;Bompadre et al, 1998;Al-Rawithi et al, 2000;Samer, et al, 2000;Tsai, Chen, 2000;Arayne et al, 2007;Farthing et al, 2008), requiring pretreatment of the sample, among other slow procedures, requiring sophisticated equipment and high costs and using large amounts of organic solvents which are toxic for the operators and for the environment.…”
