Molecular Imprinted Polymers
Description
This template shows the basic steps to create Molecular Imprinted Polymers (MIPs), custom-made particles able to detect with precision any wanted protein, cell type, lipid, glycans and viruses, some of them often related with pathological conditions, infections, diseases or even cancer. These can easily be detected with simple procedures (urine, blood etc.) and tests with embedded MIPs. Thus lab, clinical and scientific staff avoid more invasive procedures needed for some diagnostic decisions.
