Heparin is the most important anticoagulant drug used during surgeries and extracorporeal therapies. Although the blood levels of heparin should be monitored continuously during the procedure to ensure the safety of the patient, there is currently no technique for measuring heparin in real time. This study describes the use of a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) as a recognition element in the development of a heparin sensor for real-time monitoring. MIP is formed on quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) with plasma initiated polymerization.
