研究目的
To provide an overview of current strategies employed in development of optical detection platforms for pesticide residues in foodstuffs, including classification of pesticides, their health risks, and recent developments in sample preparation and analytical techniques for trace residue detection.
研究成果
Disposable strip-based biosensors offer a cost-effective and portable solution for point-of-care testing of pesticides. Future developments aim at integrating these devices with card readers or smartphones for more user-friendly and accurate quantitative information, and expanding their application to environmental monitoring.
研究不足
The complex matrix of food samples and trace level of pesticide residues pose challenges in accurate quantification. Sample preparation is considered the most significant and rate-limiting step, with potential for introducing contaminants or experimental errors.
