Abstract: The present invention relates to a method tor enriching and/or separating and/or immobilizing an analyte of interest comprising bringing an analyte of interest into contact with a derivatizing agent; incubating said analyte with said derivatizing agent, thereby incorporating a sulphonic acid group or as analogue thereof into the molecular structure of mo analyte of interest; bringing the analyte of interest into contact with a molecularly imprinted polymer with selective affinity foe a sulphonic acid group or an analogue thereof; and enriching and/or separating and/or immobilizing the analyte of interest by nee of the molecularly imprinted polymer. Further disclosed is a kit comprising a derivatizing agent, which contains a sulphonic group or an analogue thereof and a reactive group for creating a covalent bond between said derivatizing agent nod an analyte of interest, and a molecularly imprinted polymer with selective affinity for a sulphonic acid group or an analogue thereof.
