Plastics provide a moldable platform for molecular analyses . A system was developed that permitted receptors to be doped within moldable polycarbonate by using a dual anchor–receptor design. These resins were molded into 3D objects without loss in the affinity of a pendant receptor. This finding demonstrates a practical advance for the display of molecular species that allows one to mold affinity‐based systems into objects from the micron to meter scale.
