Convenient solid phase extraction of cephalosporins in milk using a molecularly imprinted polymer

Posted on 26 June, 2012 by fqm302

In this paper, a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) for cephalosporin molecules (cephalexin (CFL) and cephapirin (CFP)), was prepared by non covalent molecular imprinting approach and applied to solid phase extraction (SPE). For MIP synthesis, a tributylammonium cefadroxil salt (TBA–CFD) was … Continue reading →
