Aflatoxin B1 enzyme immunoassay (EIA) test kits using Aflatoxin B1 monoclonal antibodies-coated plate, affinity column and florisil tip, and aflatoxin polyclonal antibodies-coated card were evaluated by testing the recovery of aflatoxin B1 spiked to several kinds of foods. Simple and rapid methods for the analysis of aflatoxin B1 were found to be test kits using an affinity column and card. The elimination of the chemical clean-up step where many solvents and glassware are required under the conventional chemical method as well as a reduction in the volume of aflatoxin B1 detoxication reagents used were found to be the advantage of the EIA test kits.
