Abstract: Non-covalent molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) of cholesterol were prepared by UV initiated polymerization. A polymer that had the highest binding selectivity and capability was used as solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbents for direct extraction of cholesterol from different biological samples (human serum, cow milk, yolk, shrimp, pork and beef). The extraction conditions of molecularly imprinted SPE (MISPE) were optimized and the optimum protocol was: conditioning MISPE cartridges with n-hexane, loading with n-hexane, washing with n-hexane and n-hexane:toluene = 9:1, respectively, then eluting with chloroform:ethanol:acetic acid = 3:1:1. Cholesterol MISPE selectively recognized, effectively trapped and pre-concentrated cholesterol over a concentration range of 10-80 μg/mL. Recoveries ranged from 80.6% to 92.7%, with R.S.D. lower than 9.8%. Under the optimal condition, MISPE recoveries of spiked human serum, yolk, cow milk, shrimp, pork and beef were 91.1%, 80.4%, 86.6%, 78.2%, 81.4% and 80.1%, respectively. Compared with C18 SPE, almost all of the matrix interferences were removed after MISPE, and better baselines and higher selectivity were achieved
