Abstract: Synthetic polymer spheres with the ability for molecular recognition represent a promising alternative to affinity binding matrices using biological molecules. This chapter describes various methods for the preparation of molecularly imprinted polymer spheres in the colloidal state. The synthesis, characterization, and performance of colloidal dispersions of molecularly imprinted polymer spheres and their application are discussed.
