Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are considered persistent bio-accumulative toxicants which threats global food safety and environmental health. Traditional analytical techniques for detection of PCBs are time-consuming and they do not satisfy urgent need for rapid and accurate monitoring of these persistent
