Creatinine imprinted poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) based cryogel cartridges

Creatinine imprinted cryogel (MIP) cartridge was prepared with functional monomer N-methacryloyl-(L)-histidinemethylester (MAH) under frozen conditions. Creatinine adsorption studies and selectivity of MIP cryogel were evaluated in aqueous solution and artificial urine sample. Maximum adsorbed amount of creatinine was calculated as 6.83 mg/g polymer for MIP cryogel. Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models were used to investigate the adsorption behaviour of creatinine. In the artificial urine sample; recovery amounts of creatinine were found 34.7–46.2%. Creatinine imprinted cryogel (MIP) cartridge recognized creatinine, 4.58 and 4.37 times greater competitive molecules. MIP cryogel catridge was repeatedly used many times for adsorption desorption cycles. © 2017 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
