Journal ArticleDOI
Solid-Phase Synthesis of Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Nanoparticles with a Reusable Template - "Plastic Antibodies".
Alessandro Poma,Antonio Guerreiro,Michael J. Whitcombe,Elena V. Piletska,Anthony Turner,Sergey A. Piletsky +5 more
TL;DR: This work reports a reusable solid-phase template approach (fully compatible with automation) for the synthesis of MIP nanoparticles and their precise manufacture using a prototype automated UV photochemical reactor and demonstrates the reliable re-use of molecular templates in the synthesisof MIPs for the first time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solid-phase synthesis of molecularly imprinted nanoparticles
TL;DR: This work developed a method for the synthesis of MIP nanoparticles (nanoMIPs) using an innovative solid-phase approach, which relies on the covalent immobilization of the template molecules onto the surface of a solid support (glass beads).
Journal ArticleDOI
How to find effective functional monomers for effective molecularly imprinted polymers
Kal Karim,Florent Breton,Régis Rouillon,Elena V. Piletska,Antonio Guerreiro,Iva Chianella,Sergey A. Piletsky +6 more
TL;DR: This review covers work developed in understanding molecular imprinting mechanisms and presents different strategies utilised in optimising MIP design.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensing and analysis of soluble phosphates in environmental samples: A review
TL;DR: Progress in the development of phosphate sensors, designed for use in a variety of disciplines, is highlighted and the need for long term stability, low maintenance, specificity and the capability of measuring total phosphorus concentrations down to at least 1 mg/l is considered, as required by legislation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct Replacement of Antibodies with Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Nanoparticles in ELISA—Development of a Novel Assay for Vancomycin
Iva Chianella,Antonio Guerreiro,Ewa Moczko,J. Sarah Caygill,Elena V. Piletska,Isabel M. Perez De Vargas Sansalvador,Michael J. Whitcombe,Sergey A. Piletsky +7 more
TL;DR: In these experiments, nanoMIPs have shown high affinity and minimal interference from blood plasma components and the lack of a requirement for cold chain logistics make them an attractive alternative to traditional antibodies used in ELISA.
