A method of manufacturing at least one customized MIP unit including: (a) providing at least one MIP unit having a surface including at least one target binding site configured to resemble a target molecule and surface-bound chargeable groups; (b) contacting the MIP unit(s) from the step (a) with at least one template molecule in a first solvent allowing the template molecule(s) to bind to the MIP unit(s); (c) passivating the surface-bound chargeable groups on the MIP unit(s) by adding a passivating agent; and (d) removing the template molecule(s) by washing in a second solvent, wherein the passivating agent binds to the surface of the unit(s) through bonds which remain stable upon washing in the second solvent.

Customized molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) units

A novel process for the removal of impurities from clavulanic acid using a selective adsorption material, in particular a molecularly imprinted polymer. Novel selective adsorption materials suitable for the process, and a process for the preparation of such selective adsorption materials, are also disclosed.
