MIP Process Used in Antiepileptic Drug Analysis
Researchers from Universitat Rovira i Virgili (Tarragona, Spain) and the University of Strathclyde (Glasgow, UK) synthesized two molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) by precipitation polymerization using the antiepileptic drug carbamazepine as the template molecule and two types of crosslinking agents.
Researchers from Universitat Rovira i Virgili (Tarragona, Spain) and the University of Strathclyde (Glasgow, UK) synthesized two molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) by precipitation polymerization using the antiepileptic drug carbamazepine as the template molecule and two types of crosslinking agents. They used liquid chromatography and a solid-phase extraction procedure to compare the molecular recognition character of the polymers. They found that carbamazepine was recognized by both polymers and cross-selectivity for oxcarbazepine, the main metabolite of carbamazepine. They obtained high recoveries of the compounds from spiked human urine.
RAFA 2024 Highlights: Contemporary Food Contamination Analysis Using Chromatography
November 18th 2024A series of lectures focusing on emerging analytical techniques used to analyse food contamination took place on Wednesday 6 November 2024 at RAFA 2024 in Prague, Czech Republic. The session included new approaches for analysing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), polychlorinated alkanes (PCAS), Mineral Oil Hydrocarbons (MOH), and short- and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs and MCCPs).
