Abstract:
1. A method of preparing a composition comprising molecular imprinted polymers having high binding capacity and specificity for a target molecule, said method comprising: a) obtaining a suspension of insoluble molecular imprinted polymers, which bind the target molecule, and which have been prepared using the target molecule or a mimic thereof as template molecule, b) subjecting the suspended molecular imprinted polymers to an affinity purification procedure, wherein the template molecule or a fragment thereof or a mimic thereof is used as capture agent, c) recovering the molecular imprinted polymers that bind the capture agent in the affinity purification procedure while substantially excluding the capture agent and molecular imprinted polymers that do not bind the capture agent from the recovered product, and d) optionally combining recovered molecular imprinted polymers and a carrier, vehicle or diluent to obtain said composition.
