Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs) are specialized synthetic materials with custom-designed molecular recognition properties. They are created by polymerizing monomers around a template molecule. MIPs play a crucial role in various analytical fields, including drug detection in biological samples, protein and peptide identification, pollutant monitoring in water and soil, and detecting additives, contaminants, and pesticide residues in food. Additionally, they aid in identifying toxins, viruses, and small molecules. Their versatility, cost-effectiveness, and reusability enhance precision and efficiency in analytical processes. As technology and knowledge in the field continue to advance, the potential applications of MIPs are expected to expand, making them a crucial asset in various scientific and industrial endeavors. In this review, various techniques, which include analyte, sample type, key analytical parameters (limit of detection, limit of quantification, relative standard deviation, recovery, and correlation coefficient), and corresponding references, along with an overview of MIP applications across multiple domains, are described.
