Potentiometric immunosensor using artificial antibody based on molecularly imprinted polymers.

A potentiometric artificial immunosensor based on a molecularly imprinted polymer was prepared as a detecting element in micro total analysis systems with the intent of providing easy clinical analysis. As the structure and transducing mechanism of this sensor are very simple, construction of a single microsensor should be quite easy. Multimicrosensor arrays applicable to several kinds of analytes will be attainable by both changing the template molecule to be imprinted and reducing the sensor size.
