Aflatoxins are metabolites from molds such as Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus Parasiticus. Afl atoxins are classified as mycotoxins, they are among the most potent human carcinogens, found mainly in foods and feed of plant origin. High concentrations of afl atoxins have been found, for example, in pistachios, figs and cereals and aflatoxins have also been found in dairy products. Due to the high toxicity of afl atoxins, EU legislation specifies very low acceptable daily intakes and maximum residue limits (0.05-15 μg/kg).

Performing Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) manually can be time consuming and nerve-racking, especially when recovery and reproducibility are lacking due to sample variability. If SPE can be reliably automated, it becomes a much more efficient and reproducible process.
