We have developed a simple HPLC method for the microanalysis of bisphenol A (BPA), which is often contained in environmental water and is known as an endocrine disrupter. HPLC coupled with electrochemical detection requires a simpler procedure of pretreatment compared to GC-MS. In this study, we analyzed BPA using molecularly imprinted polymer as an on-line pretreatment device. This polymer has molecular recognition sites and provides specific selectivity in extraction process. Due to this effect, the detection limit obtained with this HPLC was 0.36 ng/l. This method applied to environmental water and purified water samples containing 2-70 ng/l of BPA successfully. Furthermore, UV detection was performed in some actual analyses. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.
