摘要
An antibody-based competition assay has been developed using a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor platform for the detection of trinitrotoluene (TNT) in soil extract solutions. The objective of this work is to develop a sensor-based assay technology to use in the field for real-time detection of land mines. This immunoassay combines very simple bio-film attachment procedures and a low-cost SPR sensor design to detect TNT in soil extracts. The active bio-surface is a coating of bovine serum albumin that has been decorated with trinitrobenzene groups (TNB-BSA). A blind study on extracts from a large soil matrix was recently performed and results from this study will be presented. These will include demonstrated sensitivity to 1ppm TNT, in a variety of soils, with no false negatives. Potential interferants studied included 2,4-dinitrophenol, 2,4-dinitrotoluene, ammonium nitrate, and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Cross-reactivity with dinitrotoluene will be discussed. Also, plans to reach sensitivity levels of 1ppb TNT in soil will be described.
