Abstract:
1. A chloramphenicol sensor having the ability to detect molecules or other structures that is produced by a process of providing one or more molecules for use as molecular building blocks, providing a transducer substrate having a surface capable of interacting with the molecular building blocks, providing one or more chloramphenicol template molecules which may include providing more than one kind of template molecule, providing one or more solvents to create a solvent solution, adding the molecular building blocks, the chloramphenicol template molecules and the transducer substrate to the solvent solution to create a matrix on the transducer substrate, removing the transducer substrate containing the matrix from the solution, and rinsing the matrix with another of at least one solvent or solution to extract the chloramphenicol template molecules thereby resulting in a substrate imprinted chloramphenicol sensor having molecular recognition cavities for the chloramphenicol template molecules wherein the substrate imprinted chloramphenicol sensor possesses additional properties that are not present in the molecular recognition cavities or the transducer substrate.
