“…MIP possess several advantages over their biological counterparts including low cost, ease of preparation, storage stability, repeated operations without loss of activity, high mechanical strength, durability to heat and pressure, and applicability in harsh chemical media. As a technique for the creation of artificial receptor-like binding sites with a 'memory' for the shape and functional group positions of the template molecule, molecular imprinting has become increasingly attractive in many fields of chemistry and biology, particularly as an affinity material for sensors [7][8][9][10][11], binding assays [12], artificial antibodies [13][14], adsorbents for solid phase extraction [15][16][17][18][19], and chromatographic stationary phases [20][21][22][23].…”
