Validation of an Antibody-Based Biosensor for Rapid Quantification of 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene (TNT) Contamination in Ground Water and River Water

Nitroaromatics are common pollutants of soil and groundwater at military installations because of their manufacture, storage, and use at these sites. Long-term monitoring of these pollutants comprise a significant percentage of restoration costs. Further, remediation activities often have to be dela...

Description
Summary:Nitroaromatics are common pollutants of soil and groundwater at military installations because of their manufacture, storage, and use at these sites. Long-term monitoring of these pollutants comprise a significant percentage of restoration costs. Further, remediation activities often have to be delayed, while the samples are processed via traditional chemical assessment protocols. Here we describe a rapid (
