Abstract Despite the increasing number of applications of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) in analytical chemistry, the construction of a biomimetic potentiometric sensor remains still challenging. In this work, a biomimetic potentiometric sensor, based on a non-covalent imprinted polymer was fabricated for the recognition and determination of cetirizine. The MIP was synthesized by precipitation polymerization, using cetirizine dihydrochloride as a template molecule, methacrylic acid (MAA) as a functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as a cross linking agent. The sensor showed high selectivity and a sensitive response to the template in aqueous system. The MIP-modified electrode exhibited Nernstian response (28.0±0.9 mV/decade) in a wide concentration range of 1.0×10,6 to 1.0×10,2 M with a lower detection limit of 7.0×10,7 M. The electrode has response time of ca. 20,s, high performance, high sensitivity, and good long term stability (more than 5,months). The method was satisfactory and used to the cetirizine assay in tablets and biological fluids. [source]

Veränderungen auf der Spur: Ein einheitlich großes molekular geprägtes Polymer (MIP) kann als Rezeptor in einer Polymermembran eingesetzt werden, die als ionenselektive Elektrode zum potentiometrischen Nachweis neutraler Spezies genutzt wird (siehe Schema). Die Veränderungen der Bindungsstellen des MIP in der Membranphase, die durch die Analyterkennung ausgelöst werden, werden mit einem Indikator-Ion gemessen, dessen Molekülstruktur der des Analyten ähnelt.

Abstract A new adsorbent for molecularly imprinted solid phase extraction (MISPE) of metoprolol was synthesized using methacrylic acid (MAA) as functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as cross-linking agent causing a non-covalent, bulk, thermal radical-polymerization. Control polymer (non-imprinted polymer) was prepared under well defined conditions without the use of metoprolol. The synthesized polymers were characterized by IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis techniques. This polymer was used for the rapid extraction and preconcentration of metoprolol from real samples prior to spectrophotometric determination. Extraction efficiency and the influence of flow rates of sample and stripping solutions, pH, type of eluent for elution of metoprolol from polymer, break through volume and limit of detection were studied. The detection limit of the proposed method is 0.4 ng·mL,1. The method was applied successfully to the recovery and determination of metoprolol in tablets, human urine and plasma samples. [source]

Abstract A new biomimetic bulk acoustic wave sensor based on molecularly imprinted microspheres (MIM) technique was described. The sensing materials were synthesized by precipitation polymerization. By using the Scatchard analysis, the equilibrium dissociation constant KD and the apparent maximum number Qmax of the binding sites were calculated to be 3.70 mmol·L,1 and 9.11 ,mol·g,1, respectively. The sensor exhibited a sensitive response to the template compound (dipyridamole) in liquid phase with a detection limit of 2 × 10,9 mol· L,1. The recoveries of the sensor were 95.1%-105.4%. Studies presented in this paper show that the stability of this sensor is excellent. The sensor has been applied successfully to the determination of dipyridamole in human urine. [source]

Abstract Miniaturized potentiometric membrane sensors for quinine incorporated with molecular imprinted polymer (MIP) were synthesized and implemented. Planar PVC based polymeric membrane sensors containing quinine-methacrylic and/or acrylic acid-ethylene glycol methacrylate were dispensed into anisotropically etched wells on polyimide wafers. The determination of quinine was carried out in acidic solution at pH,6, where positively charged species predominated prevalently. The suggested miniaturized planner sensors exhibited marked selectivity, sensitivity, long-term stability and reproducibility. At their optimum conditions, the sensors displayed wide concentration ranges of 4.0×10,6,1.0×10,2mol L,1 and 1.0×10,5,1.0×10,2 mol L,1 with slopes of about 61.3,55.7,mV decade,1; respectively. Sensors exhibit detection limits of 1.2×10,6 and 8.2×10,6 mol L,1 upon the use of methacrylic and acrylic acid monomers in the imprinted polymer, respectively. Validation of the assay method according to the quality assurance standards (range, within-day repeatability, between-day variability, standard deviation, accuracy, and good performance characteristics) which could assure good reliable novel sensors for quinine estimation was justified. Application of the proposed flow-through assay method for routine determination of quinine in soft drinks was assayed and the results compared favorably with data obtained by the standard fluorimetric method.
