Development and evaluation of a quantitative enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for polychlorinated biphenyls

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:26280
A 96-well, microplate-based enzyme linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA) for the quantitative determination of PCBs (as Aroclors) in soil has been developed and evaluated. The method detection limits are 8.95 microg/Kg and 10.5 microg/Kg for Aroclors 1248 and 1242, respectively. The ELISA was characterized for potential cross-reactivity with 37 structurally related chlorinated benzenes, anisoles and phenols which might potentially be present as co-pollutants in environmental samples. Cross-reactivity was found to be negligible.
