Abstract

Preparation of potentiometric and amperometric sensors with thin-film membranes based on molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) is described. Spherical MIP microparticles with diameter below 1 μm are suitable for incorporation into the sensing membrane by the deposition of a conducting polymer on the electrode surface. This is achieved through electropolymerization from the suspension of MIP particles in monomer solution. Procedures of the synthesis of MIP particles, preparation of sensing membranes, and analytical application of potentiometric and amperometric sensors with MIP-modified membranes are described.
