Molecularly imprinted materials for biomedical sensing

Significant advances have been presented in the last decades field of biomedical analysis and sensing, especially pertaining to routine procedures based on immunologic nucleic acids, including enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) real-time polymerase chain reaction (RTq-PCR). Despite their efficiency, some limitations such as reagent stability availability, cost cumbersome still limit further this area. In context, development molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) for purposes has contributed improvement consolidated applications new approaches a wide range application scenarios. This review discusses contribution MIPs sensing past 5 years highlighting main synthesis strategies, detection biomarkers, viruses bacteria. Last but not least, utility diagnostic imaging is emphasized.
