“…Over the years, an increasing number of analytical techniques such as spectrophotometry [6,7,8], high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) [9,10,11], capillary electrophoresis Raman spectroscopy (CE-RS) [12], liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS n ) [2,13,14] and RNA-Aptamer–based assay [15] have been adapted for the detection of MG in various water matrices. Although the aforementioned techniques are considered as routine MG detection techniques, they are time-consuming and require complicated sample pretreatment (e.g., extraction, pre-concentration, derivatization, etc.).…”
