title: Molecularly imprinted sorbent assays: recent developments and applications.
abstract: Molecular imprinting has attracted considerable attention, because it offers the tantalising prospect of specific antibody-mimicking recognition and binding sites, coupled with several distinct advantages such as excellent stability, ease of preparation and low cost. In this Minireview, recent progress in molecularly imprinted sorbent assays is discussed, with a particular emphasis on the most significant developments and applications over the last few years.
