Recent advances in immunoassay, a technique widely accepted as the method of choice for in-vitro diagnostics, have greatly contributed to the detection of environmental contamination. The development of assays for various contaminants, including BTEX, has allowed for an easy and rapid site characterization allows for a more accurate site assessment, largely due to the elimination of the volatility and biodegradation concerns related to BTEX analyses. To demonstrate the performance of the enzyme immunoassay, several field studies were conducted with concurrent analyses by both immunoassay and gas chromatography (GC). In these studies, samples were split into two aliquots in the field. One aliquot was analyzed on-site using the D TECH BTEX kit, the other was sent to a certified laboratory for SW-846 method 8020 GC analysis. The results and subsequent costs of each analysis technique are compared.
