Abstract

An affinity matrix and a method for the detection of low molecular weight compositions such as aflatoxins are provided utilizing specific monoclonal IgM antibody having an affinity constant not less than about 1.times.10.sup.9 liters per mole. Methods for the preparation and use of such affinity matrices are also given. The detection is rapid, accurate, reproducible, and allows for quantitative recovery of the composition of interest.
