ABSTRACT
This paper presents a comprehensive investigation of the various parameters involved in the fabrication of a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) sensor for the detection of cortisol. Parameters such as monomer concentration, electropolymerization cycles, pH, monomer-template ratio, template removal technique, and rebinding time were optimized to establish a more consistent and effective method for the fabrication of MIP sensors. Under the optimized conditions, the MIP sensor demonstrated a proportional decrease in differential pulse voltammetry peak currents with increasing cortisol concentration in the range of 0.1 to 100 nM. The sensor exhibited excellent sensitivity, with a limit of detection of 0.036 nM. Selectivity experiments using a non-imprinted polymer sensor confirmed the specific binding affinity of the MIP sensor for cortisol, distinguishing it from other steroid hormones. This study provides crucial insights into the development of a reliable and sensitive strategy for cortisol detection using O-PD-based MIPs. These findings laid the foundation for further advancements in MIP research.
