Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201401088-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Cantilever‐type all‐organic microelectromechanical systems</bold> based on molecularly imprinted polymers for specific analyte recognition are used as chemical sensors. They are produced by a simple spray‐coating–shadow‐masking process. Analyte binding to the canti­lever generates a measurable change in its resonance frequency. This allows label‐free detection by direct mass sensing of low‐molecular‐weight analytes at nanomolar concentrations. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh1302txbr" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
