Title:
MOLECULARLY IMPRINTED POLYMER BASED SENSORS FOR THE DETECTION OF NARCOTICS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001077672
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A device for measuring and detecting at least one narcotic, such as heroin and cocaine, in a fluid is provided. The device functions by selectively binding vapors of a narcotic or a narcotic present in a liquid, e.g., blood, to a luminescent molecularly imprinted polymer. The polymer possesses a securely bound luminescent lanthanide ion, such as Eu<3+>, in a coordination complex that has been templated with a narcotic.
