“…For this reason, other techniques, such as chromatography or electrophoresis [9], have been proposed to overcome these shortcomings, and liquid chromatography (LC) is the most frequently approach used. In relation to detection methods, they are diverse and include UV [10,11] or fluorescence detection [12,13]. However, Public Health Agencies, based on European Union guidelines, rely on the detection by mass spectrometry (MS) for confirmation of antibiotics in foodstuffs [14], considering that it provides more reliable identification and confirmation of these analytes than conventional detectors.…”
