“…It was prepared by one-step, in-situ polymerization 'molding' process directly within a chromatographic column without the tedious procedures of grinding, sieving and column packing. Compared with conventional particle columns, the monolithic columns possess a unique porous structure, and large through-pores exist in these monoliths, which enable mobile phases to flow through the adsorbents with low flow resistance at high flow rates (Li et al, 2005;Huang et al, 2004;Yan et al, 2005). As a technique for the creation of artificial receptor-like binding sites with a 'memory' for the shape and functional group positions of the template molecule, MIP has drawn much attention and has been used successfully in many fields of chemistry and biology, including chromatography (Hosoya et al, 1998), artificial antibodies (Ye and Mosbach, 2001), chemical sensors (Marx et al, 2004) and solid-phase extraction (Masquée et al, 2001;Jodlbauer et al, 2002;Qiao et al, 2006).…”
