title: Determination of aflatoxin B1 in agricultural commodities by time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay and immunoenzymometric assay.
abstract: A time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay (TR-FIA) and an immunoenzymometric assay (IEMA) were applied for the measurement of aflatoxin B1 in soya seeds, dried figs and raisins. The extraction procedure was simple and no clean-up was found to be necessary. Limits of detection were 0.5 microgram kg-1 for TR-FIA (range of linearity of calibration graph 2.5-5 x 10(4) pg; inter-assay relative standard deviation Sr < 5%) and 0.2 microgram kg-1 for IEMA (linear range 1.0-5 x 10(3) pg; Sr < 11%).
