Bisphenols

Bisphenol A is an endocrine disruptor that can mimic the body’s own hormones and may lead to negative health effects.

Regulatory measures

On June 2024, EU Member states agreed to ban Bisphenol A (BPA) on food contact materials (FCM) with a transition period of 18 to 36 months depending on the products.

The decision is based on a scientific assessment from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), which concluded that BPA had “potential harmful effects on the immune system”.

This ban will apply mainly to the use of BPA in packaging, such as the coating used on metal cans. The use of BPA in consumer articles such as reusable plastic drink bottles, water distribution coolers or other kitchenware will also be banned.

About our product

AFFINIMIP® SPE Bisphenols are selective solid phase extraction cartridges that selectively clean and concentrate Bisphenol A and closely related structures such as BADGE prior to analysis by chromatography (LC, GC…).
This kit is very powerful to target a large range of bisphenol analogs with high sensitivity.

Good to know: LABERCA, a French National Reference Laboratory (NRL) has published a peer-reviewed scientific article targeting 18 “BPA-like” compounds using AFFINIMIP®SPE Bisphenols with recovery yields higher than 90% for each molecule.
In this publication, the 18 bisphenol analogues analyzed were:

• Bisphenol B (BPB), bisphenol AP (BPAP), bisphenol AF (BPAF), bisphenol BP (BPBP), bisphenol C (BPC), bisphenol Cl2 (BPCl2), bisphenol E (BPE), bisphenol PH (BPPH),
• Bisphenol S (BPS), bisphenol F (BPF), [4,4′-dihydroxydiphenyl ether (DHDPE), bisphenol FL (BPFL), bisphenol Z (BPZ), biphenyl-4,4′-diol (BP4,4′), bisphenol M (BPM), bisphenol P (BPP), bis-2(hydroxyphenyl)methane (BIS2) and biphenyl-2,2′-diol (BP2,2′).
