Stoichiometrically Imprinted Polymer SPE of Fluoroquinolones
Researchers from Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Madrid, Spain) and Universität Dortmund (Dortmund, Germany) used a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) solid-phase extraction method in the analysis of fluoroquinolone antibiotics in environmental water samples.
Researchers from Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Madrid, Spain) and Universität Dortmund (Dortmund, Germany) used a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) solid-phase extraction method in the analysis of fluoroquinolone antibiotics in environmental water samples. The MIP was prepared using enrofloxacin as the template and a stoichiometric quantity of urea-based functional monomer to target the oxyanionic moeities in the template molecule. They characterized the polymer using nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms and scanning electron microscopy.
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).
