Electropolymerized molecularly imprinted polypyrrole film for dimethoate sensing: investigation on template removal after the imprinting process

The proposed PPy-MIP modified electrode was able to detect dimethoate in the picomolar range (LOD of (8 ± 2) × 10−12 M), which is five orders of magnitude lower than the limits set by EU legislation (i.e., ∼40 × 10−9 M).
