“…5,6 Currently available techniques for the detection of chromium (VI) fall in to two distinct categories; direct and indirect detection. Chromatography, 7,8 extraction, 9,10 and co-precipitation 11,12 are techniques which all require prior separation, which increase detection costs, time and accessibility. Each of the indirect methods also suffer from chromium(III) interference, often found in relatively high concentrations within natural samples.…”
