  • Aflatoxin templates, molecularly imprinted polymers, and methods of making and using the same
    Patent number: 10472484
    Abstract: Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are materials exhibiting molecular recognition of a target molecule. MIPs are synthesized in the presence of an aflatoxin template, a mimic to the targeted molecule, used as an imprint that is further washed away with suitable solvent after completion of the polymerization process, leaving a cavity in the polymer of the same stereochemistry, functionality and morphology to the template. When the MIP encounters an aflatoxin, the molecule is bound in the cavity with a receptor-like affinity.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: November 12, 2019
    Assignee: Alltech, Inc.
    Inventors: Alexandros Yiannikouris, Thirupathi R. Yerramreddy, Joshua J. Martinez, Jeffrey R. Withers
