Recent developments in nanotechnology have brought us new advances in device fabrications and novel materials by emerging technologies from physicists, chemists, engineers, biologist, and materials science.  There are a lot of challenges for chemists to play an important role in this area since nanotechnology is a part of the chemical domain, which builds up materials at the molecular level. Microfabrication technology offers us rapid assembly and integration of unconventional devices since small patterns on a variety of substrates produced numerous active devices to satisfy a set of our demands in miniaturization. Microfluidic approach has taken intensive attractions since microfluidic reactors allow us to produce novel materials with specific advantages.  We present a microfluidic synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) with high affinities for biosensors or chemical detection. Molecularly imprinted polymer can be provided by �molecular imprinting technique�, which is a general protocol for the creation of synthetic receptor or binding sites with specific molecular recognition functions in cross-linked network polymers. Synthesis of high affinity receptor sites is a key contribute to achieve high sensitivity in their molecular recognition functions.
