Company Profile

MIP Diagnostics

is the leader in the manufacture of Molecularly

Imprinted Polymer nanoparticles (nanoMIPs) by solid-phase imprint-

ing. NanoMIPs, sometimes called “plastic antibodies”, are nanostruc-

tured polymer particles containing a binding site for their target mol-

ecule and capable of selectively recognising the said target. Thanks

to their small size and the possibility to tailor their surface chemistry,

nanoMIPs are soluble and can be easily integrated in sensors. Fur-

thermore, their robust nature (being plastics) allows them to be used

in harsh chemical environments, such as extremes of pH, seawater

or high concentrations of organic solvents. NanoMIPs specific for all

major target classes (from small molecules, such as

drugs or pesti-

cides, to peptides and proteins) have been developed and used

as diagnostic tools both in sensors and assays. Using our propri-

etary solid-phase approach which circumvents the drawbacks of

traditional manufacturing methods, MIP Diag

nostics can provide

a bespoke and proven nanoMIP within as little as two weeks from re-

ceiving the target, without any requirement for animal testing. In addi-

tion, MIP Diagnostics provides other MIP formats, such as cartridges,

microparticles or films for separation and sensor applications.
