Method Name:
DDE/DDT by Immunoassay, Microtiter Plate. Official Name: Abraxis DDE/DDT Plate Assay Kit (96T) PN 540041

Description:
DDE/DDT are detected using a colorimetric immunoassay (ELISA) procedure. A sample (0.05 mL) and an antibody against DDE/DDT are added to a microtiter plate well pre-coated with DDE/DDT coating conjugate. Both the DDE/DDT (when present in a sample) and the DDE/DDT coating conjugate compete for the binding sites of the antibody. After a washing step, a second antibody-HRP labeled is added and incubated. After a washing step, a substrate is added which is catalyzed by the enzyme and converted from a colorless to a blue solution. The reaction is terminated with the addition of a dilute acid. The concentration of DDE/DDT in the sample is determined by measuring its absorbance at a specific wavelength (450 nm) using a plate photometer and comparing its absorbance to the absorbance of the calibrators.

Scope:
This method determines DDE/DDT in water (groundwater, surface water, well water). It is capable of detecting p,p'-DDE; p,p'-DDD; o,p'-DDD; p,p'-DDT; and, o,p'-DDE.
