A molecular imprinted polymer was synthesized by non-covalent method, which enables the recognition of a small pesticide target molecule, atrazine. The highest recovery was obtained from MIP compared with non-imprinted polymer (NIP) by using a commercial C8 sorbent. The study discusses the washing solvent selection with optimum volume that can removed the interference with maximum binding. Specific atrazine binding was nearly 3 times greater than non-specific binding. Optimum formulation of MIP that have mol ratio of monomer, cross-linker and template has been investigated.
