Title: Role of molecularly imprinted polymers for selective determination of environmental pollutants--a review. Author: Pichon V, Chapuis-Hugon F. Journal: Anal Chim Acta; 2008 Aug 01; 622(1-2):48-61. PubMed ID: 18602534. Abstract: The molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are synthetic polymers possessing specific cavities designed for a target molecule. By a mechanism of molecular recognition, the MIPs are used as selective tools for the development of various analytical techniques such as liquid chromatography, capillary electrochromatography, solid-phase extraction (SPE), binding assays and biosensors. This review describes the application of MIPs to the determination of environmental pollutants in these different analytical approaches with a special emphasis on their potential as selective SPE sorbent for the selective extraction of target analytes from complex matrices.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
