Studies on the Voltammetric Determination of Clenbuterol at One-touch Immunochips

The control of residues of veterinary drugs inanimal products is still a very serious problem inmany countries due to the lack of matured monitor-ing system. During the last decade, β-Agonistcompounds were introduced in slaughter animalsfor promoting feed conversion, live weight gainand increasing the ration of muscle to fat tis-sue[1~3]. However, the danger of residues fromabuse of beta-agonists has been a real publichealthy issue. Clenbuterol (4-amino-3, 5-dichloro-α-tert-buty-laminomethyl…     

Electrochemical Determination of Diethylstilbestrol in Feeds at Polyethylenimine-nanogold Modified Electrode

Diethylstilbestrol [(E)-4,4' -(1,2-diethyl-1,2-ethenediyl) bis phenol] (DES), one of thecheapest synthetic estrogens to produce, is highlyactive and used for the treatment of prostate can-cer. The formulation of DES contains two hydrox-yl groups in the phenol-ring and the molecularstructure is as follows: DES belongs to non-steroidal estrogens and itsbiochemical functions are mainly manifested bystimulating synthetic metabolism. Thus farmerssupplement this hormone in the feeds to increaset…
