Abstract: Molecular imprinting is the process of template-induced formation of specific recognition sites (binding or catalytic) in a material where the template directs the positioning and orientation of the material's structural components by a self-assembling mechanism. Synthetic receptors prepared using molecular imprinting possess a unique combination of properties, such as high affinity, specificity, low price, and robustness, which make them an attractive alternative to natural receptors, enzymes, and antibodies used in biosensors. This review presents a brief overview of the technology, with emphasis on the performance of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) in optical, acoustic, and electrochemical sensors. Specific attention is paid to publications of practical nature
