Abstract: Inspired by the fact that antibody recognizes antigen's epitope rather than its whole structure, we selected the glycosyl moiety of teicoplanin as the template, 4-vinylphenylboronic acid and methyl methacrylate as the functional monomers, and divinylbenzene as the cross-linker to synthesis molecularly imprinted polymer microspheres via precipitation co-polymerization. The glycosyl-imprinted microspheres can selectively capture the target glycopeptide antibiotic in aqueous solutions when the pH of surrounding environment is 9.0, and the captured antibiotic can be reversibly released when the pH falls below 4.0 again. This pH-controlled catch-and-release mechanism permits entrapping of glycopeptide antibiotics in slightly basic environments and keeping them entrapped under neutral conditions, and eluting in acidic media. Five teicoplanin components were selectively captured by using the prepared glycosyl-imprinted microspheres as solid-phase extraction adsorbents, and then detected using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). Finally, the method was thoroughly validated for accuracy and reproducibility by determining teicoplanin in food and biological samples, and achieving quantification limits of 0.1 μg/kg, 0.5 μg/L and 1.0 μg/L for milk, urine and plasma samples, respectively
