TY - CONF A1 - Raysyan, Anna T1 - A dipstick immunoassay for the determination of Bisphenol N2 - Bisphenol A (BPA), a monomer commonly used to manufacture polycarbonate plastic products and the epoxy resins that line metal cans, has resulted in an increased human exposure because both products come in contact with food and beverages. Since BPA is an endocrine disruptor excessive exposure could affect human reproductive function. In response, various countries have adopted a range of measures, from voluntary reductions to outright bans of BPA in some products, mostly in baby bottles and containers for canned foods. Pregnancy-test like strips in combination with hand-held readers provide a simple and versatile tool to determine the presence of bisphenol A quantitatively, making it a very attractive analytical approach especially for on-site applications at critical points, such as environmental analysis, consumer protection, and materials testing.
