An on-site immunoassay for detecting PCB in soil

The authors have developed a chromogenic immunoassay for PCB that is rapid, simple, sensitive, and cost effective. The test can be performed in the field, requires no special training, and can be completed in less than 20 minutes. Concentrations of PCB at 5 ppm and higher are detected. The real time...

Description
Summary:The authors have developed a chromogenic immunoassay for PCB that is rapid, simple, sensitive, and cost effective. The test can be performed in the field, requires no special training, and can be completed in less than 20 minutes. Concentrations of PCB at 5 ppm and higher are detected. The real time testing of samples makes possible the more cost effective use of people, time, and equipment.
