Clarias batrachus samples were taken purposively from the traditional market of Sei Sikambing Medan. Method validation includes accuracy, precision, and sensitivity. The results show that it is accurate with accuracy, precision, limit of detection and quantitation of 99.95% each; 1.06%; 0.620 g/ml; 2.066 g/ml.
