A versatile electrochemical sensing receptor based on a molecularly imprinted polymer

Abstract

Electrochemical molecularly imprinted polymers (e-MIPs) are reported for the first time. Their elaboration is based on the introduction of a redox tracer (vinylferrocene) inside the binding cavities of a cross-linked MIP. Determination of the analyte (benzo[a]pyrene) can be simply performed by measuring the redox tracer signal.
