Molecularly imprinted polymers: A new approach for the CSIA of aquatic micropollutants in the sub-microgram/liter range

Compound-specific isotope analysis of organic micropollutants requires processing large sample volumes with concomitant interferences from the organic matrix. Using benzotriazoles as model contaminants, we explore the use of molecularly imprinted polymers for selective analyte enrichment.
