AFFINIMIP® SPE VS IMMUNOAFFINITY – COMPARATIVE STUDY Solid phase extraction is a simple tool to selectively extract analytes from complex matrices and quantify concentrations lower and lower. The major disadvantage of conventional SPE sorbents, such as C18 is a lack of selectivity and interference matrix components are co-extracted with the target analytes. To solve this problem, affinity-based SPE sorbents have been developed to be selective in extracting the target analytes like molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) and immunoaffinity sorbent. Immunoaffinity columns (IAC) are biological sorbents based on the use of antibodies that are specific to the target analytes. Molecularly imprinted polymer is a synthetic material with artificially generated three-dimensional network able to specifically rebind a target molecule. Based on molecularly imprinted polymers, AFFINISEP’s AFFINIMIP® SPE cartridges have the advantages to be highly selective and specific. Contrary to IAC, AFFINIMIP® SPE cartridges are chemically and thermally stable, compatible with all solvents as well as cost effective.

AFFINIMIP® SPE for mycotoxins analyses Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by different fungi present in agricultural commodities. They are regulated in food and feed due to nephrotoxic, neurotoxic, carcinogenic, estrogenics, and immunosuppressive effects. AFFINISEP has developed two sets of product for mycotoxins analyses: For single mycotoxin extraction Designed for the analysis of one specific mycotoxin or for mycotoxins analyzed by fluorescence detection AFFINISEP has developed the following products AFFINIMIP® SPE Patulin (PI-FS102) AFFINIMIP® SPE Ochratoxin A (PI-FS101) AFFINIMIP® SPE Zearalenone (PI-FS100) AFFINIMIP® SPE Deoxynivalenol (PI-FS117) For multimycotoxins extraction Designed for the simultaneous extraction of several mycotoxins which are present in a same matrix prior to LC-MS/MS analyses These mycotoxins are all present in the same matrix to be analyzed. Their extraction is done all at once by SPE. Then the elution solution containing all these mycotoxins is evaporated, reconstituted and analyzed by LC-MS/MS. The protocol is short and efficient AFFINISEP has developed the following products AFFINIMIP® SPE FumoZON (PI-FS109) for the analyses of Fumonisins Zearalenone AFFINIMIP® SPE Multimyco10 (PI-FS114) for the analyses of Fumonisins Aflatoxins Ochratoxin A T-2 and HT-2 Zearalenone 7

PH100 AFFINIMIP® SPE ESTROGENS Estrogens are a group of compounds which play an important 17β- Estradiol OH role in the estrous cycle. They are either natural (Estrone, Estriol, 17α- and 17β-Estradiol) or synthetic compounds (17α- HO H EthinylEstradiol, Dienestrol, Diethylstilbestrol). HH Estrogens play a key role in developmental and reproductive functions. They also affect a diversity of biological processes involved in coronary artery disease, immunocompetence and cancer susceptibility. When they are present in wastewater, these endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC) have adverse effects on endocrine systems of human beings and animals. In addition, because of their anabolic effects, estrogens have been used in animal fattening. Steroid hormones are used in animal fattening because of their capacity to increase weight gain and to reduce the feed conversion ratio which is the average feed intake in relation to the weight gain. For several years now, the use of anabolic steroids in animal fattening is prohibited in the European Community because of their possible toxic effects on public health (96/22/EC). Nevertheless, they are still offered on the ‘black’ market for animal fattening purposes. AFFINIMIP® SPE Estrogens are selective solid phase extraction cartridges that selectively clean and concentrate Estrogens prior to analysis by HPLC.AFFINIMIP® SPE Estrogens are selective solid-phase extraction cartridges that selectively clean and concentrate the natural or synthetic estrogens family prior to further analysis from complex matrices such as Water, Plasma or Serum Catalog number: PI-100-02 for 25 cartridges, 3mL PI-100-03 for 50 cartridges, 3mL PI-100-1.96W for 1 96-well plate

FS106 AFFINIMIP® SPE Bisphenol A Bisphenol A (or BPA) is a molecule widely used in industry HO CH3 OH for the synthesis of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy CH3 resins. Polycarbonate plastics are used to make a variety of common products including baby and water bottles. Epoxy resins are used as coatings on the inside of almost all food and beverage cans. The migration of this endocrine disruptor compound from the packaging to food is the main source of consumers’ exposure to BPA. Its consumption is critical for babies. So, a European directive prohibits the use of BPA to manufacture infant feeding bottles (Directive 2011/8/EU of 28 January 2011). Progressively, countries become more and more restrictive on BPA use for food packaging. So, in October 2011, French parliament voted a law for banning BPA from canned foods and plastic boxes applicable in 2013 for infants and for all consumers on 1st January 2014. In the same way, Sweden bans BPA in food packaging for under-threes (2012) and in Denmark since July 2010, it has been illegal to sell infant feeding bottles and cups, and packaging for baby food, containing BPA. So, BPA is a topical issue with a worldwide regulation going to still lower concentrations of BPA allowed in food. Highly sensitive and reliable detection methods are required for routine analysis of BPA in food samples, particularly for baby food. In these application notes, we described protocols enabling the determination of very low concentration of BPA in liquid and powdered infant formula, and several other matrices. using AFFINIMIP® SPE Bisphenol A cartridge. These methods show the determination of very low concentration of Bisphenol A with a fluorescence detector. Therefore, the use of AFFINIMIP® SPE Bisphenol A enables to eliminate the tedious derivatization step required by gas chromatography. This method is also perfectly suitable for clean-up before GC-MS/MS or LC-MS/MS.

FS110 AFFINIMIP® SPE Chloramphenicol Chloramphenicol: a major concern for human health and a challenge in food safety analysis Chloramphenicol is a broad-spectrum antibiotic widely used in the world in the past. Several health problems are related to its use. As a consequence, several countries (e.g. U.S.A, E.U, Canada…) have prohibited its use for food-producing animals. As no permitted limit has been established, E.U. has defined a Minimum Required Performance Limits (MRPLs) of 0.3µg/kg for product of animal origin (Commission decision 2003/181/EC). However, due to its broad spectrum of activity and its availability, Chloramphenicol is still used in several countries to treat food-producing animals. Therefore, chloramphenicol analysis is still a current affair. In addition, food matrices are very complexes and induce ion-suppression phenomena which distort analysis results. For such a low MRPL threshold, a clean-up step is crucial in order to improve the sensitivity, the reliability and the specificity before analysis. It is therefore critical to develop a highly selective and sensitive analytical assay to control and monitor Chloramphenicol residues in difficult matrices such as food stuffs. AFFINISEP has developed AFFINIMIP® SPE Chloramphenicol cartridge, a simple, fast, sensitive and selective tool for the extraction of Chloramphenicol from complex matrices. We demonstrate in these application notes that a reliable quantification of Chloramphenicol from honey and bovine urine at low concentrations using AFFINIMIP® SPE Chloramphenicol and a single quadrupole mass detection is possible. In a very complex matrix such as honey, we obtained a high recovery yield (> 90%) with a low background, even with UV detection. The tests carried out on several kinds of honey demonstrated a good reproducibility, proving the efficiency of AFFINIMIP® SPE Chloramphenicol cleanup.
