Molecularly-imprinted monoliths for sample treatment and separation

Molecularly-imprinted monoliths (MIMs) are highly selective materials, which have shown great potential in sample pretreatment and chromatographic separation.In this review, we focus on recent progress in the application of MIMs in sample treatment and separation. We describe the preparation and the characterization of MIMs and discuss the evaluation of their analytical performance. We highlight the latest applications of MIMs to sample treatment, especially solid-phase extraction.
