Template bleeding an unresolved issue in MISPE protocols

TEMPLATE BLEEDING AN UNRESOLVED ISSUE IN MISPE PROTOCOLS 

One problem in molecular imprinting concerns the small amount of template that remains strongly bound to the polymer after extraction. This usually

However, when these requirements are fulfilled the MIPs can be directly used in extraction columns or cartridges in combination with existing instrumentation. High target affinity and selectivity translates to lower detection limits, shorter analysis times and cheaper instrumentation in the resulting method, factors that are likely to lead to a widespread use of these phases in the near future.
