Abstract

There currently exists a critical and growing need for cost-effective, real-time, and in situ methods for detection of environmental pollutants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Herein reported is a evanescent wave fluoroimmunosensor for measurement of PCBS. 2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxybutyric acid (TCPB) was cross-linked to fluoresce in ethyleneamine (TCPB-FL) an used as an optical signal generator. Protein A purified IgG, obtained from anti-PCB serum, was immobilized on quartz fibers and used as the biological recognition element in an evanescent wave fluorimeter. The optical signal was generated by the binding of the fluorescent probe TCPB-FL to the antibody (Ab)-coated fiber. Fluorescent probe concentrations in the nM range resulted in reversible binding. Several Aroclors displaced the fluorescent probe (TCPB-FL) in a concentration-dependent manner. Aroclor 1248 was detected from the ppb to ppm range. Aroclor 1242 was also measured in methanol extracts from standard reference material (SRM) soils.

Fiber optic immunosensor for polychlorinated biphenyls

Journal Article Zhao, C Q ; Anis, N A ; Eldefrawi, A T - Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

A fiber optic immunosensor, consisting of a quartz fiber coated with partially purified polyclonal anti-PCB antibodies (Abs), was used to detect polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The optical signal was generated by the binding and subsequent fluorescein (FL) conjugate of 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxybutyrate (TCPB) to the Ab-coated fiber. The Abs, immobilized on the fiber, bound TCPB-FL with high affinity, saturably and reversibly. TCPB and PCBs competed with TCPB-FL for binding and decreased fluorescene in a concentration-dependent manner, with a detection limit of 10 ppb TCPB. The biosensor detected 1 ppm Aroclors, but not polychlorinated pesticides, polychlorinated phenols, or trichlorobenzene. It was more selective formore »« less

Investigation of potential polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) contamination on Hanford site arc-loop roads

Technical Report Patton, G W ; Cooper, A T ; Riley, R G ; ...

Two roads on the Hanford Site, which had been treated during past Site operations with oil for dust suppression, were analyzed for potential polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) contamination. The general locations of these roads are (1) off Washington State Route 240, north of Horn Rapids Dam, and (2) between the 200 East and 200 West areas, south of the 200 Area fire station. Each road had an intact crust of oil/tar on top of the underlying soil surface. A set of control samples were collected at an untreated soil site near the Prosser Barricade air sampling station. Samples were collected ofmore »« less

Dechlorination of four commercial polychlorinated biphenyl mixtures (Aroclors) by anaerobic microorganisms from sediments

Journal Article Quensen, III, J F ; Boyd, S A ; Tiedje, J M - Applied and Environmental Microbiology; (USA)

The rate, extent, and pattern of dechlorination of four Aroclors by inocula prepared from two polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-contaminated sediments were compared. The four mixtures used, Aroclors 1242, 1248, 1254, and 1260, average approximately three, four, five, and six chlorines, respectively, per biphenyl molecule. All four Aroclors were dechlorinated with the loss of meta plus para chlorines ranging from 15 to 85%. Microorganisms from an Aroclor 1242-contaminated site in the upper Hudson River dechlorinated Aroclor 1242 to a greater extent than did microorganisms from Aroclor 1260-contaminated sediments from Silver Lake, Mass. The Silver Lake inoculum dechlorinated Aroclor 1260 more rapidly thanmore »« less
Detection of small molecules by an evanescent wave fiber optic biosensor

Conference Shriver-Lake, L C ; Ligler, F S

Detection of small molecules is important in environmental analyses as most pollutants are low molecular weight compounds. Utilizing the specificity of antibodies, the rapid signal transduction of optical fibers and the signal-to-noise discrimination of fluorescence, an evanescent wave fiber optic-based biosensor was modified for the detection of these molecules. To facilitate the isolation of personnel and equipment from hazardous environments, long partially clad optical fibers are employed. Antibodies were immobilized on the 10 cm sensing region at the distal portion of the optical fiber probe. A 200 {micro}l sample chamber was fabricated from a capillary tube.
