Detection Methodologies

Methods for immunocytochemistiy have shown an evolutionaiy progression from the simplest direct method used in pioneering work through two-step or indirect methods to the sensitive and robust multistep methods that are in common use today. The multistep methods have the gloat advantage of considerably improving sensitivity. High quality detection systems are available from several commercial suppliers. 

When used to detect mouse monoclonal antibodies this secondaiy antibody would have anti-mouse immunoglobulin specificity. The method can be adapted for a number of reporter molecules, for example other enzyme labels such as alkaline phosphatase, and fluorescent molecules such as fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC). 

Biotii lated anti-mouse Ig secondaiy antibody (optimally diluted in BSA S, e.g. Amersham RPNIOOI at 1 100) Streptavidin biotin complex Kit (used according to manufecturer s instructions. e.g. K0377 from Dako Ltd., and Elite fiom Vector Laboratories Ltd.) 

Rack the slides into metal slide carrier and dewax by immersing in two changes of xylene for 3 min in each. 

Transfer to freshly made methanol/H202 to block the endogenous peroxidase activity, incubate for 12 min with occasional agitation.

The main implications of the new remote detection methodology are the sensitivity enhancement, which can be several orders of magnitude in certain applications, the option to study flow transiently with time-of-flight techniques and the broadening of the application range of NMR and MRI to samples that were previously... 

For the analysis of americium in water, there is a broad array of sample preparation and detection methodologies that are available (see Table 7-2). Many of the common and standardized analytical methodologies typically include the minimization of sample volume, purification through co-precipitation, anion exchange column chromatography, and solvent extraction techniques followed by radiochemical detection of americium in the purified sample. Gross alpha analysis or liquid scintillation are common... 

As examples of engineering and administrative controls, the PSM Rule lists "appropriate application of detection methodologies to provide early warning of releases." For systems handling toxic materials, detection methodologies are generally mitigation systems that reduce the severity of consequences after an accident occurs. 

It is quite clear that in the near future extraction of non-ionic surfactants from solid matrices will be based on SFE, PLE and sonication methods. The initial costs for SFE/PLE equipment will be earned back quickly by the reduction of man-hours and solvent consumption per sample. For sonication methods, not even this financial barrier is present. More emphasis must be laid on quality assurance of the extraction, clean-up and detection methodologies. The recently available 13C-labeled standards will help to account for matrix...

In normal viable cells, PS localizes predominantly in membrane leaflets facing the cytosol (S6). Fadok et al. established the fundamentals for a novel apoptosis detection methodology by showing that apoptotic cells expose PS at their outer leaflet of cell surface during early apoptosis (El). This change of exposure... 

Raman spectroscopy has been shown to identify disease-specific compositional changes in numerous cancers and pre-cancerous steps, and in the future these changes will be critical to potentially revolutionising clinical diagnostics and detection methodologies.

With a low-dose dmg product, the absorptivity of dmg substance is a key property. If it is intense, conventional detection methodology may be viable, typically with a UV-Visible detector using HPLC instrumentation. However, LC/MS may be another option when increased sensitivity is needed.23...

Table 1 summarizes the carbohydrate structural data deduced from the three detection methodologies, MALDI-TOF, ES-MS, and high pH anion exchange chromatography. The N-glycosylation site proved to be occupied with several structures. The glycopeptides were partially separated as five peptides, at retention times of 19.4, 20.3, 20.7, 20.9, and 21.3 minutes, and all of these glycopeptides contained the same amino acid sequence, N-terminal amino acids 1-17. 

As already stated, to achieve the maximum SERRS enhancement, the analyte molecule must contain a chromophore in the visible region which coincides with the Raman excitation wavelength. DNA does not naturally have this property therefore it has to be modified to allow spectroscopic detection. The chemistry involved in labeling DNA is well characterized since these labeling strategies are routinely used in standard fluorescence detection methodologies.
