Biomimetic Bulk Acoustic Wave Sensor for Determination of Trimethoprim in the Organic Phase Based on a Molecular Imprinting Polymer

A molecular imprinted polymer was prepared using trimethoprim as the template molecule and methacrylic acid as the functional monomer by a non-covalent method. The powders of the polymer were coated on one electrode of a bulk acoustic wave (BAW) device to construct a biomimetic sensor for the determination of trimethoprim. In absolute ethanol, the sensor exhibited good selectivity and sensitivity. In the range of 6.0×10-^8 - 6.7×10-^5 M, there was a linear relationship between log(- f ) and log C. The detection limit was 4.0×10-^8 M. When treated by heat, heavy metal salt, acid, etc. , the sensor still exhibited long-time stability and resistance to such harsh chemical environments. Satisfactory results of a real sample assay were obtained by the proposed method.
