Abstract

The detection of lead and cadmium is one of routine test items in the third party testing organization. Due to the quantity of positive samples is less than 1% in recent years, it is meaningful to develop rapid screening method to screen the positive samples. This review summarizes the progress of rapid screening methods of lead and cadmium, which includes the development of the pre-processing step and the detection step. With these rapid screening methods, it will save a lot of time and extraction reagent. Furthermore, the further study of the current research field is prospected in this review.
