The aim of the present study was to develop new molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) to coat stainless steel plates for the removal of aflatoxin M 1 (AFM 1 ), which is a serious concern in the safety of milk and dairy products. Scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy tests confirmed that MIPs successfully coated the stainless steel plates. The MIPs were applied to extract AFM 1 from milk spiked with 0.5 to 50 ng/ mL AFM 1 . The MIPs removed 87.3-96.2% of the AFM 1 without any notable effects on the milk composition. The results also showed that the imprinting factors of DMC, AFM 1 , AFB 1, and AFG 1 were 5.93, 4.61, 3.41, and 2.72, respectively.
