Development of new express enzyme irnmunotechniques for pesticides and surfactants monitoring in water

Objective

The project is devoted to the development of express immuno detection systems for monitoring of water pollution by pesticides and surfactants. Three new assay formats will be developed, namely flow-injection technique with pulley etiolate carriers, homogeneous enzyme-immunoassay based on modulation of hydrolytic enzymes' activity, and photoluminescence assay with formation of immune complexes on porous silicon. Kinetic properties of these homo- and heterogeneous systems will be determined for triaging herbicides, derivatives of phenoxyacetic acid, and industrial surfactants as the antigens studied. Optimal reactants and assay regimes will be chosen. Portable devices for on-site monitoring and diagnostic kits will be manufactured. The developed techniques will be applied for control of drinking, melting and river water pollution in fuss countries.
