Preparation of monolithic molecularly imprinted polymer sol-gel packed tips for high-throughput bioanalysis: extraction and quantification of L-tyrosine in human plasma and urine samples utilizing liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry.

In situ monolithic molecularly imprinted polymer sol-gel packed tips (MMSTs) were prepared and evaluated for the extraction of lung cancer biomarker L-tyrosine (Tyr) from human plasma and urine samples. Several extraction parameters such as the conditioning, washing and elution solutions, pH and time were investigated. The enrichment factor (EF) and extraction recovery (ER) were studied.

Molecularly imprinted polymer in microextraction by packed sorbent for the simultaneous determination of local anesthetics: lidocaine, ropivacaine, mepivacaine and bupivacaine in plasma and urine samples.

This study presents the use of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) as packing material for microextraction by packed syringe (MEPS) to achieve higher extraction selectivity. Pentycaine was used as template for MIP. Development and validation of the determination of lidocaine, ropivacaine, mepivacaine and bupivacaine in human plasma and urine samples utilizing MIP-MEPS and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) were carried out.
