Detection of synthetic corticosteroids in bovine urine by chemiluminescence high-performance liquid chromatography

The development of a black market of chemical cocktails for illegal growth promotion in food‐producing animals includes substances that are potentially dangerous for human health, such as synthetic corticosteroids. The potential presence of these residues in food makes it necessary to develop rapid and sensitive analytical methodologies to detect such substances, preferably in live animals before they arrive at the market. A chemiluminescence...
