Fluorescence immunoassay technique for detecting organic environmental contaminants

Development of an immunological assay for 2-aminobenzimidazole, the degradation product of several carbamate pesticides, is described. The specific technique is a fluorescence polarization immunoassay, and it may be applicable in detecting many low molecular weight, organic contaminants. The assay i...

Description
Summary:Development of an immunological assay for 2-aminobenzimidazole, the degradation product of several carbamate pesticides, is described. The specific technique is a fluorescence polarization immunoassay, and it may be applicable in detecting many low molecular weight, organic contaminants. The assay is successfully demonstrated with a sensitivity in the subnanogram-milliliter range.
