“…Fleroxacin (FLE), ofloxacin (OFL), norfloxacin (NOR) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) are third-generation FQs used in treating human and animal diseases, while enrofloxacin (ENR) is used only for treating animal diseases. With the overuse of these FQs in animal husbandry and aquaculture, they are widely detected in all kinds of matrices, especially in meat such as fish (Huet et al, 2008;Huet, Charlier, Weigel, Godefroy, & Delahaut, 2009), chicken (He, Lv, Yu, & Feng, 2010;Lee, Kim, & Kim, 2013;Tian et al, 2014), pork Lee et al, 2013) and beef (Lee et al, 2013;Sheng et al, 2009). Because of the complex matrix interferences in meat, the previously reported analytical methods often require extensive sample preparation (Vazquez, Vazquez, Galera, & Garcia, 2012;Ebrahimpour, Yamini, & Moradi, 2012).…”
