Restricted access molecularly imprinted polymers (RAMIPs) are hybrid materials that present selective binding sites for a template (or similar molecules), and an external hydrophilic layer that avoids the binding of proteins to the material, making them appropriate for the sample preparation of protein fluids. RAMIPs have been used successfully in online and offline solid phase extractions, but there is no application as a fiber in solid phase microextraction (SPME), to the best of our knowledge. In this paper, molecularly imprinted fibers were synthesized inside glass capillary tubes (0.53 mm i.d.), using diazepam and methacrylic acid as template and functional monomer, respectively. The MIP fibers were coated with a cross-linked bovine serum albumin (BSA) layer, resulting in RAMIP fibers that were used in the SPME of benzodiazepines directly from biological fluids. The BSA layer acts as a protective barrier that …
