Progress in Molecular Imprinting Electrochemiluminescence Analysis

Molecularly imprinted electrochemiluminescence method combines the advantageous properties of molecularly imprinted polymer and electrochemiluminescence, such as high sensitivity, good selectivity, good controllability, easy miniaturization and simple operation. In recent years, molecularly imprinted electrochemiluminescence has received much attention in the fields including biomimetic sensors, hazardous pesticide residue detection, food safety monitoring, etc. In this review, the research progresses of molecularly imprinted electrochemiluminescence sensors and the applications of molecularly imprinted polymers as solid phase extraction matrixes in electrochemiluminescence analysis were summarized, and the future research trends were proposed.

Both molecularly imprinted polymer and electrochemiluminescence have been extensively studied because of their broad applications and advantageous properties. The combination of molecularly imprinted polymer and electrochemiluminescence leads to synergetic and collective advantages, which receives increasing attention. This review discusses the recent progress and future research trends.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
