Abstract: A biosensor is a sensor that uses biological selectivity to limit its perception to particular key molecules and can be defined as an analytical device possessing a biological or biologically derived sensing element integrated with or associated closely with a physicochemical transducer. In the future it is likely that a number of key developments in therapeutic monitoring and intelligent drug delivery will rely on real-time feedback information in order to deliver an appropriate response. However due to issues of integration and the fragility and unreliability of the bio-molecule, biosensors are currently unable to fulfil this role. Molecular imprinted polymers are viable alternatives to both antibodies and enzymes and this review considers the current position of molecular imprinted polymer sensing
