Beta-blockers are an important class of antihypertensive drugs.
With their growing use, the contamination of environmental waters with beta-blockers has increased.
The new product from MIP Technologies offers better selectivity and efficiency than other products on the market for the simultaneous determination of beta-blockers.
The product has been tested for trace level determination of beta-blockers in natural water by the Department of Environmental Chemistry, IIQAB-CSIC, Barcelona, Spain.
"The extraction protocol developed, based on the use of MIPs specifically designed for the extraction from liquid samples, offers both good efficiency and selectivity.
"Furthermore the method is simple and fast," said Prof Damia Barcelo from IIQAB-CSIC.
"As we continue to release SPE products for difficult targets we expect to establish molecular imprinting as the method of choice for such applications.
"The high recoveries, speed and ease of extraction and elimination of traditional, labor intensive extraction steps are hallmarks of analytical products from MIP Technologies," said Christine Widstrand, VP sales and marketing.
MIP Technologies is an innovative biotechnology company working at the boundary of chemistry and materials science.
The company is a pioneer in the commercial applications of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) working with several major corporations to provide large scale separation solutions.
It also holds important patents and maintains cutting edge research activities in the area.
The company's mission is to provide innovative products based on molecularly imprinted polymers that serve industry's needs in analytical, preparative and process scale 'selective separations'.
