Abstract
The report describes the development and successful demonstration of an immunological assay for the detection of low molecular weight organic contaminants of environmental cocern. The specific technique described is a fluorescence polarization immunoassay, the theory of which is presented. The preparation of the two required reagents, namely a fluorescent conjugate of the contaminant of interest, together with an antibody to the contaminant, is described in detail. The specific contaminant chosen for this study was 2-aminobenzimidazole (MW = 133), a metabolite of certain fungicide agents used in agriculture. The particular fluorescent moiety chosen to form the conjugate with 2-aminobenzimidazole with fluorescein. A successful demonstration of the assay has been accomplished, and a detection sensitivity in the sub-nanogram/ml range obtained.
