Conclusions Regarding Surface Plasmon Resonance SPR Technology

3 Conclusions Regarding Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) Technology 

In summary, the SPR biosensor is a sophisticated screening tool applicable for the analysis of residues (at iig/kg concentrations) in complex food matrices. The results can be generated within the work day, providing information on the presence and presumptive concentration of targeted residues (and their metabolites for some applications). The
