One-pot preparation of magnetic molecularly imprinted adsorbent with dual template molecules for simultaneously specific capture of sulfonamides and quinolones in water and milk samples

Specific capture is a beneficial tactic in simultaneous monitoring of sulfonamides (SAs) and quinolones (QLs). For this purpose, a new magnetic molecularly imprinted adsorbent based on double-template molecules (DT-MIP@MNA) was facilely prepared by “one-pot” hydrothermal technique and utilized as the adsorbent of magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE). Molecular simulation technique was employed to quickly screen functional monomer. The recognition factors of prepared adsorbent towards templates sulfamethazine and nalidixic acid were 5.89 and 2.90, respectively, and the corresponding adsorption capacities were as high as 8.85 mg/g and 8.97 mg/g, respectively. Under the optimized parameters, the proposed DT-MIP@MNA/MSPE was combined with HPLC to simultaneously and selectively monitor trace SAs and QLs residuals in water and milk samples. The achieved limits of detection were 0.012–0.028 μg/L and 0.015–0.032 μg/kg for water and milk samples, respectively. The current supplied a sensitive, reliable and anti-interference method for simultaneously monitoring trace SAs and QLs in food.
