"The editors have brought together information on different aspects of molecularly imprinted sensors and provided the reader with a state-of-the-art update on this topic, especially in the most extensively studied areas. The book is clearly-written, comprehensive and well-illustrated." --Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry online, May 18, 2013

Molecular imprinting is a rapidly growing field with wide-ranging applications, especially in the area of sensor development, where the process leads to improved sensitivity, reliability, stability, and reproducibility in sensing materials. Molecularly Imprinted Sensors in Analytical Chemistry addresses the most recent advances and challenges relating to molecularly imprinted polymer sensors, and is the only book to compile this information in a single source. From fundamentals to applications, this material will be valuable to researchers working in sensing technologies for pharmaceutical separation and chemical analysis, environmental monitoring and protection, defense and security, and healthcare.
