MIP-based impedimetric sensors
Résumé
Molecular imprinting technique allows the preparation of tailor-made materials with high recognition faculty towards target molecules. Molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) are more robust, easier to manipulate and cheaper than biological receptors, constituting very attractive alternatives to biomolecules as recognition elements in the elaboration of biosensors. In this paper, the principles and advantages of MIP-based impedimetric sensors are described and some examples of application in the biological or environmental fields are given.
