Screening, water

It has been suggested that this spherical layer of charges effectively screens water from the external electric field, leading to an apparent dielectric constant much lower than that of bulk water [35,91,95,96]. 

From Figure 9 it can be concluded that the sensitivity of the assay is adequate to screen water samples for the presence of atrazine at a MAC value of 0.1 ppb. In a preliminary experiment 10 river water samples were screened for the presence of atrazine. In eight out of 10 an immunological response corresponding to atrazine levels greater than 0.1 ppb could be confirmed by GC-MS analysis. The other two samples contained atrazine at levels below 0.1 ppb (both with the enzyme immunoassay as with the GC-MS analysis).

Microtox is used in the field to screen water samples rapidly, even in areas where intermittent electricity supplies may preclude the use of more conventional techniques. The use of Microtox is one of screening to monitor signs of toxicity [35]. Chemical analysis would need to be undertaken if long-term use of a water source were required. Alternative bioassay (fathead minnows, trout, Daphnia magna, etc.), arc unsuitable for field use and requires 48 — 72 h to produce results. 

High performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) has also been used for the determination of carbamate pesticides.Thus, TLC methods provide increased selectivity through silica derivatization, as well as higher analytical precision and sensitivity with high-performance plates. Butz and Stan reported an HPTLC system with automated multiple development (AMD-HPTLC) to screen water samples for pesticides. The method was applied to the determination of 265 pesticides in drinking water spiked with 100 ng/1 of each analyte. 

The slurry of fibers is drawn up through the shaped screen. Water passes through and a layer of fibers builds up on the screen.

A total of 15 work days would be needed to analyze the 1115 water sanples by ELISA based on the 80 singular sample on each 96-well plate. Whereas for LC/MS/MS, a total of 115 work days would be required to analyze the same amount of san les based on the 10-12 san les per assay set. In addition, ELISA uses and generates minimum chemicals and waste(solvents and reagents) and is sinq)ler and time-and cost-effective conq>ared to the conventional chemical meftiod. The ELISA kit for sulfentrazone and SCA is, therefore, a reliable and effective analytical tool for screening water sanq>les. It is particularly useful in the beginning and at the end of each groundwater study, when detectable residues are not expected.
