Electrochemical sensors based on molecularly imprinted polymers

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are becoming an important class of synthetic materials mimicking molecular recognition by natural receptors. This review examines the literature on non-covalent MIP-based electrochemical sensors over the last 10 years. With insight into the different sensing phases, electrochemical transductions and integration strategies, we evaluate achievements and difficulties to date and assess future prospects.
