An integrated automatic lab-in-syringe sol-gel coated foam microextraction platform as a front-end to high performance liquid chromatography for the migration studies of bisphenol A

Blue applicability grade index (BAGI) and software: a new tool for the evaluation of method practicality

“…The assessment of the applicability of the analytical method is facilitated by using a desktop application (mostwiedzy.pl/bagi) or a corresponding web application (bagi-index.anvil.app) and enables the comparison of different analytical methods at a first glance. The biggest advantage of BAGI is the simplicity and ease of application, which was achieved by preparing an interesting web application that allows to quickly evaluate the 18 (c) androgens and progestogens in environmental water samples, 19 (d) ibuprofen in milk-containing simulated gastrointestinal media, 20 and (e) quinine in soft drinks. 21 method and copy a colourful pictogram presenting results of the We believe that the BAGI tool will gain attention and acceptance from the chemical community.…”

“…In this section, the utilization of the BAGI index web app is demonstrated. For this purpose, the new tool was used to evaluate the applicability of five different analytical methods dealing with the determination of antidepressants in post-mortem whole blood and cerebrospinal liquor, 17 bisphenol A (BPA) in food contact materials’ leachates, 18 androgens and progestogens in environmental water samples, 19 ibuprofen in milk-containing simulated gastrointestinal media, 20 and quinine in soft drinks. 21 The BAGI index pictograms for these methods are depicted in Fig.…”

“…In the second case study, an automatic lab-in-syringe sol–gel coated foam microextraction platform was used for monitoring BPA in food contact materials’ leachates during migration studies. 18 The separation and determination of the target analyte were conducted using high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV), resulting in quantitative analysis. Using this approach, a single element could be determined, which can be considered as a drawback of the method that can be potentially expanded to include other bisphenols.…”
