Zhao D., Shi Q.Y., He X., Zhang J.: (2014): A novel sorbent for solid-phase extraction coupling to high performance liquid chromatography for the determination of olaquindox in fish feed. Czech J. Food Sci., 32: 449–455. A new and hydrophilic molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) selective for olaquindox was prepared by bulk polymerisation using methacrylic acid as the functional monomer and ethy...

A temperature sensitive dopamine-imprinted polymer was prepared in 80% aqueous methanol solution by free-radical cross-linking co-polymerisation of methacrylic acid and acrylamide at 60 degrees C in the presence of N,N-methylene-bis-acrylamide as the cross-linker and dopamine hydrochloride as template molecule. The resulting molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) formed temperature responsive mate...

The U(VI) magnetic ion-imprinted composite (MIIC) with a uniform core-shell structure for the selective separation and preconcentration of U(VI) was prepared by copolymerization of a ternary complex of uranyl ions with 4-vinylpyridine (4-VP) and acrylamide in the presence of 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile. The sorption of U(VI) on the MIIC from aqueous solution was evaluated. The maximum sorption ...

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (MISPE) technique for the purification and clean-up of environmental samples. In this study, solid-phase extraction using the imprinted polymer has been optimized with the experimental design approach for a triazine herbicide, named ametryn with regard to the critical factors such as sample pH...

In this study a novel method is described for selective quantization of domperidone in biological matrices applying molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) as a sample clean up procedure using high performance liquid chromatography coupled with a fluorescence detector. MIPs were synthesized with chloroform as the porogen, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as the crosslinker, methacrylic acid as the mo...

In this paper, a separation procedure combining molecularly imprinted-solid phase extraction (MI-SPE) was developed for the isolation of melamine. The molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was prepared using precipitation polymerization method where melamine as template, 9-vinylcarbazole as functional monomer, ethtylene glycol dimethacrylate as a cross-linker and benzoyl peroxide as initiator. An...

Regarding the continuing debate in EHP over the question ofwhether or not human sperm densities have declined in the United States, I feel compelled to respond to the statement by Swan et al. (1) that regional variation would not be inconsistent with the average decline that we demonstrated in Europe and the United States. In referring to regional variation in sperm densities, Swan et al. cite ...
