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.
Gulf Coast Conference: Increasing Density and Viscosity Throughput with Difficult Samples
October 19th 2023Daniel Wolbrecht, senior technical sales consultant at Anton Paar, held a workshop at the Gulf Coast Conference in Galveston, Texas, focusing on how heated autosampler units can help analyze difficult samples.
