Optical MIP Sensors

Optical sensors have the advantage of an easily measured signal that can be seen by the naked eye in some cases. Optical detection methods include fluorescence, surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy, Raman, IR, and chemiluminescence (Fabbrizzi and Poggi 1995 deSilva et al. 1997). However, the fabrication and development of optical MIP sensors requires that a colored, emissive, or fluorescent monomer 

Other detection methods have been used in optical MIP sensing systems. An MIP-based chemiluminescent flow-through sensor was developed for the detection of 1,10-phenanthroline (Lin and Yamada 2001). A metal complex was used to catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and form the superoxide radical ion that can
