Abstract: Biosensors and sensing methods that overcome the disadvantages, poor chemical, physical and long-term stability, hatch to batch variability and high cost sensor of these teachings for detecting and recognizing target molecules includes a capture and release component and a sensing component. The capture release component includes a structure having molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles disposed on the structure, the structure being configured to receive a target fluid having the target molecules, the target molecules being captured by one of a molecularly imprinted polymer or molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles, and a source of a release solvent configured to release the target molecules captured by the molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles, the release solvent and released target molecules constituting a release solution. The sensing component includes a sensor surface having a layer of molecular imprinted polymer disposed on the sensor surface; and a sensing circuit.
