Fabrication of molecularly imprinted cotton fibers for quantification of streptomycin in honey samples

Nahit AKTAŞ

Streptomycin is a type of aminoglycoside used in treatment of several infections and with serious side effects in humans and animals, such as ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity. In the present study, we focused on the preparation of streptomycin-imprinted cotton fiber for rapid, sensitive and selective quantification of streptomycin in honey samples. The imprinted cotton fibers were characterized by attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. In addition, the imprinted cotton fibers showed high adsorption capacity ...Более
