Magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer (MMIP) was successfully synthesized with acrylamide as a functional monomer and clenbuterol (CLB) as a template molecule. The synthesized MMIPs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR). MMIPs were used to identify and bind CLB as a solid phase extraction material. The experiment data were fitted by the Freundlich isotherm adsorption model. The results show that MMIPs have excellent recognition performance for CLB. MMIPs were successfully applied as adsorbents to preconcentrated CLB in pork samples and detected by HPLC with UV. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were 4.27 μg/L and 14.2 μg/L, respectively. The spiked recovery rates ranged from 94.44% to 102.29%. Therefore, the prepared MMIPs can be used for selective preconcentration of CLB content in complex animal-derived food samples.
A nanomaterial comprising Fe3O4-modified-carboxylic multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Fe3O4-MWCNTs-COOH) was prepared by a co-precipitation method. Combined with HPLC-photodiode array detector (DAD), Fe3O4-MWCNTs-COOH was used to determine pigments in beverage. Some important parameters that could influence extraction efficiency were optimized. The results indicated that Fe3O4-MWCNTs-COOH combined with HPLC-DAD is a promising solid-phase extraction material for the sample pretreatment in the determination of pigments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
