Application

The analytical standard can also be used as follows:
  • Quantitative analysis of bisphenol A and bisphenol S in three plastic product samples of a mineral water bottle, polycarbonate bottle, and baby bottle, using a modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) sensor based on a crystalline covalent organic framework (COF)
  • Simultaneous determination of bisphenol A, S, and F in 112 samples of thermal paper receipts by liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) following their ultrasound-assisted extraction
  • Development and validation of a gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) method for the measurement of bisphenol A and 18 BPA-related compounds in 30 breast milk samples after their solid phase extraction (SPE)
  • Construction of an electrochemical sensor based on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for the determination of bisphenol A & S in river water and thermal paper samples by cyclic voltammetry (CV)
  • Determination of bisphenol A in urine samples using a novel method based on miniaturized QuEChERS extraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)
  • Investigate the bisphenol A content from glass or Pasteur pipettes in biological liquids from maternal women using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

General description

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a diphenylmethane derivative, commonly used in the production of polycarbonate plastics, epoxy resins, and various other plastic-based consumer products. It is also known to exhibit strong endocrine-disrupting ability.
This compound is listed in the SVHC (Substances of very high concern) candidate list of ECHA (European Chemicals Agency)
