“…Recent studies have shown that many methods can be applied for screening and identification of β 2 ‐agonists in biological samples, such as high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with ultraviolet detection (Yan et al ., , ; Blomgren et al ., ) and fluorescence detection (Hu et al ., ), liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (Shao et al, ; Dong et al, ), gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC‐MS; Abukhalaf et al ., ; He et al, ), enzymelinked immunoassay (Johansson and Hellenas, ; Posyniak et al ., ; Lu et al ., ), capillary electrophoresis with amperometric detection (Chen et al ., ), and electrochemical method with differential‐pulse voltammetry (Moane et al ., ). In these articles, the extraction and purification of β 2 ‐agonists from food samples was mainly performed by solid‐phase extraction (SPE; Yan et al ., ; Shao et al ., ; Dong et al ., ).…”
