We report a rapid, highly sensitive microarray method for quantitative aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) detection in cereal samples. Following optimisation using an indirect competitive immunoassay, optimised amounts of AFB1-bovine serum albumin (AFB1-BSA)-conjugate were contact-printed onto 16 isolated sub-arrays on multi-pad nitrocellulose coated slides subse...

... According to EU, total aflatoxin and AFB 1 level must not exceed 2 µg/kg and 4 µg/ kg respectively when regulated with Maximum Residual Limits (MRLs) in cereals [11]. Lately, Codex Alimentarius Commission, the joint FAO/WHO food standards program, set an aflatoxin limit of 15 µg/kg for various food commodities [12]. ...
