Abstract
An electrochemical sensor comprising first and second electrodes. The first electrode has a molecular imprinted polymer (MIP) immobilised thereon and the MIP comprises a redox label and is imprinted with an analyte. The disclosure also provides methods of producing such sensors, methods of detecting and determining the concentration of analytes and the use of the electrochemical sensors for the detection of analytes.
Claims21
An electrochemical sensor comprising first and second electrodes, wherein the first electrode has a molecular imprinted polymer (MIP) immobilized thereon and the MIP comprises a redox label and is imprinted with an analyte.
An electrode with a molecular imprinted polymer (MIP) immobilized thereon, wherein the MIP comprises a redox label and is imprinted with an analyte.
