Abstract
Novel molecularly imprinted materials (MIMs) have been deposited as thin films on acoustic Love wave devices. MIMs offer high selectivity towards target molecules while Love wave devices offer one of the highest sensitivities with respect to surface mass changes that can be achieved with microacoustic devices. Hence this specific sensor configuration promises high sensitivity and specificity at the same time. In this contribution we outline the device configuration and present experimental results obtained with this sensor.
