Abstract: The excellent detection sensitivity in various matrices of T-2 toxin (T-2), which has cytotoxic and immunosuppressive effects in DNA and RNA synthesis, is a highly desirable characteristic. A sensitive molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor was constructed for the selective detection of T-2. In this study, iron ions (Fe3+) were introduced to increase the chelation of the metal ions and templates for preparing molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). With the increased chelation of the metal ions and-átemplates, the selectivity and sensitivity of the MIPs were effectively improved. The imprinted sensor was successfully employed to detect T-2 in cereals and human serum samples
