On-Chip Purification of Tetracyclines Based on Copper Ions Interaction
Antibiotics are widely used to both prevent and treat bacterial diseases as well as promote animal growth. This massive use leads to the presence of residual antibiotics in food with severe consequences for human health. Limitations and regulations on the tolerated amount of antibiotics in food have...

Antibiotics are widely used to both prevent and treat bacterial diseases as well as promote animal growth.
