Abstract

A method for evaluating an artificial receptor includes subjecting a functional monomer and a crosslinker in the presence of a template substance in a vessel into polymerization, thereby forming a resultant polymer with the template substance usually in the form of a thin film, dissociating the template substance from the polymer and removing it from the vessel by washing an inside of the vessel, thereby to prepare an artificial receptor, feeding a solution of the same or different template substance into the vessel to associate the template substance with the resulting polymer; then determining the amount of the template substance remaining in the vessel, and evaluating the artificial receptor on the basis of a determination result.
