Resumen
"Molecular imprinted polymers are custom made materials with specific recognition sites for
a target molecule. Their specificity and the variety of materials and physical shapes in which they can
be fabricated make them ideal components for sensing platforms. Despite their excellent properties,
MIP-based sensors have rarely left the academic laboratory environment. This work presents a
comprehensive review of recent reports in the environmental and biomedical fields, with a focus on
electrochemical and optical signaling mechanisms. The discussion aims to identify knowledge gaps
that hinder the translation of MIP-based technology from research laboratories to commercialization."
