[Sensor system based on molecular-imprinted polymer membranes for the selective recognition of aflatoxin B1]

lymer membranes, synthesized using acrylamide as a functional monomer, were characterized by sufficient mechanical stability and high adsorbtion capability towards aflatoxin B1. The molecularly-imprinted polymer membranes were characterized by the pronounced imprinting effect as well as by insignificant adsorbtion of aflatoxins B2 and G2. Therefore, the synthetic analogues of bioreceptors able to individual recognition of aflatoxin B1 were obtained and used as a basis for the optical sensor system for aflatoxin B1 detection in a concentration range 1-500 ng/ml.
