In the current study, a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based potentiometric sensor was fabricated for a label-free determination of recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO). The MIP sensor was operated under zero current conditions using tetra-butyl ammonium bromide as a marker ion. A highly ordered rhEPO surface imprinted layer was prepared using 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane and tetraethoxysilane as a monomer and cross-linker, respectively, under mild reaction conditions.

Synthesis and applications of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) are rapidly growing. In this study, a biomimetic MIP was prepared through silanes polymerization on the surface of 96-well microplates using recombinant human erythropoietin-alfa (rhEPO) as a template molecule. The rhEPO was immobilized onto the plate surface using bi-functional cross-linker and a thin imprinted layer following sol-gel procedure was constructed.

In this work pH-responsive neutral and cationic polyacrylamide molecularly imprinted polymers (nMIP and cMIP, respectively) were prepared for separation of recombinant and wild type human serum albumin (HSA, pI 4.7) using mixture of polymerization initiators. The effect of pH during preparation and adsorption stages at pI±2.
