Operating a chemosensor in a natural environment poses substantial challenges in terms of ruggedness, long-term stability and calibration. This article highlights current trends of achieving both the necessary selectivity and ruggedness: one way is deploying sensor arrays consisting of robust broadband sensors and extracting information via chemometrics. If using only a single sensor is desired, molecularly imprinted polymers offer a straightforward way for designing artificial recognition materials. Molecularly imprinted polymers can be utilized in real-life environments, such as water and air, aiming at detecting analytes ranging from small molecules to entire cells.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=564), last updated on Thu, 19 Mar 2009 11:13:08 -0500", issn="1618-2642", doi="10.1007/s00216-008-2464-3", opturl="http://www.springerlink.com/index/10.1007/s00216-008-2464-3", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/s00216-008-2464-3" }
