A major aspect of this is the contamination of (drinking) water with pharmaceuticals representing a potential health threat and requiring timely countermeasures in case of contamination. In this regard, antibody-based methods can be helpful as they enable fast and cost-effective on-site and potentially online analyses. The transition from the conventional plate-based formats like ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) to an immunosensor fit for online sensing can be achieved by using magnetic microparticles as a mobile sensing platform. Beads are prepared by either coupling the antibody or the analyte to the surface. Both these strategies are presented using the example of two relevant contaminants in water: diclofenac (DCF) & amoxicillin (AMX), and can be transferred to other analytes. The developed magnetic bead-based assays (MBBAs) exhibit lower LODs, enhanced sensitivity as well as shorter time of analysis than the respective ELISAs and can be integrated into an immunosensor with electrochemical detection on a microfluidic chip.

For these analytes, different assay formats were developed which can generally be transferred to other analytes. The use of magnetic beads not only enables implementation of the assays into an online system since the beads can be reversibly immobilized by applying a magnetic field. Furthermore, our MBBAs hold several advantages over the conventional ELISAs (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays) for both analytes, such as lower limits of quantification, shorter assay duration and less washing steps required. Strategies for the setup and miniaturization of an online immunosensor including electrochemical readout on a microfluidic chip will be discussed.

Analytical methods suitable for trace analysis are needed that are desirably also fast, inexpensive and, if possible, robust and portable. Immunoanalytical, i.e. antibody-based, methods which are available in a broad range of formats, can be profitably used here to analyse for the distribution and the trends of concentration levels of contaminants in the environment. Some of these formats are single-analyte but high-throughput methods. In order to use them wisely, indicator substances, sometimes called anthropogenic markers, should be selected and used in screening approaches. Other methods are suitable to be performed on portable instrumentation in the field (on-site) or in facilities such as wastewater treatment plants for on-line monitoring. Furthermore, there are array technologies that allow for parallel (multiplex) analysis of several analytes of interest. The microtiter-plate based ELISA (Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay) is the method of choice for the analysis of a large number of samples [1]. ELISAs are available to monitor for anthropogenic markers such as the antiepileptic carbamazepine, the analgesic diclofenac, the antihistaminic cetirizine, the steroid hormone estrone, the antimicrobial sulfamethoxazole, the stimulants caffeine and cocaine, the priority pollutant bisphenol A, and the bile acid isolithocholic acid. For on-site screening and monitoring, simpler formats, like mix-and-read assays, e.g. the Fluorescence Polarization Immunoassay (FPIA) [2] or Lateral-flow Immunoassays (LFIA) [3] are more suitable tools, the latter based on dipsticks or cassettes, that is why they are also called pregnancy test-like assays. The suitability of multi-analyte formats such as immunomicroarrays depends on the choice of a signal-producing system that provides small uncertainties and good reproducibility of the measurements. Bead-based (“suspension”) arrays read out in flow cytometers are a powerful platform for multiplex assays [4]. Electrochemical formats run on portable devices provide additional advantages as no light source is required.

In case of amoxicillin (AMX) in the aquatic environment, further risk arises from hydrolysis products (HPs) which can cause allergy. To assess these risks, a comprehensive investigation and understanding of the degradation of AMX is necessary. We investigated the hydrolysis rate of AMX in different types of water as well as the influence of temperature and irradiation. The content of the heavy metal ions copper and zinc was found to be crucial for the hydrolysis rate of AMX and stability of HPs. Eventually, a new degradation pathway for AMX could be elaborated and confirmed by tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

T1 - Separation and detection of antioxidants using a graphene based electrochemical sensor platform N2 - CVD-Graphene is ideally suited as an active element for electrical and electrochemical sensing platforms, since it provides for high sensitivity and low detection limit. Electrochemical sensors provide a simple way to measure analytes in fluids with high sensitivity without the need for complex instrumentation. Due to These aspects, graphene sensors are interesting for a wide range of applications in bio analytics. Antioxidants are natural or synthetic compounds, which inhibit oxidation processes and hence often find use as preservatives. It has been suggested that the long-term consumption of diets rich in antioxidants is associated with a lower risk of developing diseases linked to oxidative stress. Gallic acid and ascorbic acid are representatives of antioxidants. We have developed a graphene-based sensor platform to separate and subsequently detect antioxidants. Graphene exhibits low detection limits for ascorbic acid and polyphenols. In this study, the sensing of gallic acid and ascorbic acid on bare CVD graphene in various solvents was investigated by Square Wave Voltammetry. Furthermore, the separation and detection of the bioanalytes by deploying different membranes were evaluated.

From there, it is washed off and may contaminate soil and surface waters, where it shows ecotoxicological behavior. For understanding of these leaching processes, analytical methods that can detect terbutryn in traces are necessary. In contrast to separation methods (Gas (GC) or liquid chromatography (LC)) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS), enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) have proven to be adequate tools for environmental monitoring. Compared to GC-or LC-MS, they are cheap, require only limited time and experimental expertise and enable high throughput. For quantification of terbutryn, EIAs have been established, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 50 ng L-1. For leaching experiments however, a lower LOD would be advantageous. For detection of terbutryn we developed a direct competitive ELISA based on a monoclonal antibody: Terbutryn and an enzyme-terbutryn conjugate (“tracer”) compete for the binding sites of the immobilized antibody. The bound tracer converts a colourless substrate into a blue-coloured product, which can be detected via spectrophotometry. For quantification of terbutryn, a sigmoidal calibration curve is used. For establishing of the EIA, a new tracer based on a terbutryn surrogate (“hapten”) was synthesized. After optimization of the experimental conditions, the immunoassay exhibited a more than ten-fold increased sensitivity (LOD: 3 ng L-1), high stability against sample compounds (Ca2+, NaCl) and lower cross-reactivities against structurally related compounds, than reported before. Analysis of spiked samples was possible with high precision (inter-assay CV: < 10 %) and accuracy (recoveries from spiked samples: 89 % ± 10%). We therefore propose it as quick and reliable method for leaching studies of terbutryn out of building materials.

During optimization and testing of the assay, we observed a significant decrease of the C-value (IC50) of the ELISA calibration curves with aged standard solutions. Running the assay with standard solutions of synthesized AMX hydrolysis products revealed that this decreased C-value could be attributed mainly to the hydrolysis product amoxicilloic acid. Therefore, the limit of detection of the ELISA for AMX determination in water could be enhanced by either hydrolyzing the samples or testing for amoxicilloic acid as marker substance.

The worldwide increase in the use of bisphenol A (BPA), a monomer commonly used to manufacture polycarbonate plastic products and the epoxy resins that line metal cans, has resulted in an increased human exposure because both products come in contact with food and beverages. Since BPA is an endocrine disruptor excessive exposure could affect human reproductive function. In response, various countries have adopted a range of measures, from voluntary reductions to outright bans of BPA in some products, mostly in baby bottles and containers for canned foods. Nonetheless, consumers would certainly appreciate a quick test for their own assessment of contaminations by bisphenol A. Methods. An immunochromatographic test strip was developed. This lateral-flow immunoassay (LFIA) is based on anti-BPA antibodies (from mouse) conjugated with gold nanoparticles as the marker, deposited in an elaborate pad. To form control and test zones, anti-mouse antibody and a BPA-BSA conjugate were spotted on the nitrocellulose membrane, respectively. Results. Negative samples are revealed by red lines both in the test and control zones, respectively, whereas positive samples produce a single red line only in the control zone. The limit of detection (LOD) was found to be 0.05 µg/l, visually detected by the naked eye within 5 minutes. In addition, the intensities at the test line can be read by dedicated lateral flow readers (opTrilyzer® and Cube by opTricon, Berlin) for a more precise and documented determination. Conclusion. Pregnancy-test like strips in combination with hand-held readers provide a simple and versatile tool to determine the presence of bisphenol A quantitatively, making it a very attractive analytical approach especially for on-site applications at critical points, such as environmental analysis, consumer protection, and materials testing.

N2 - In urban waters, a multitude of organic micropollutants, often termed emerging pollutants, has been found over the last decades. Analytical methods suitable for trace analysis are needed that are desirably also fast, inexpensive and, if possible, robust and portable. Immunoanalytical, i.e., antibody-based, methods which are available in a broad range of formats, can be profitably used here to screen for the distribution and to monitor the trends of concentration levels of contaminants of emerging concern in the environment. Some of these formats are single-analyte but high-throughput methods. To use them wisely, indicator substances, sometimes called anthropogenic markers, should be selected and used in screening approaches, i.e., as indicators for contamination and the pre-selection of samples at which to have a closer look by multiplex methods like LC-MS/MS. Other methods are suitable to be performed on portable instrumentation in the field (on-site) or in facilities such as wastewater treatment plants for on-line monitoring of the treatment and elimination process. Furthermore, array technologies have been established that allow for parallel (multiplex) analysis of several analytes of interest. The microtiter-plate based ELISA (Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay) is the method of choice for the analysis of a large number of samples [1]. ELISAs are available to monitor for anthropogenic markers such as the antiepileptic carbamazepine, the analgesic diclofenac, the antihistaminic cetirizine, the steroid hormone estrone, the antimicrobial sulfamethoxazole, psychoactive caffeine and cocaine, the priority pollutant bisphenol A, and the bile acid isolithocholic acid. For on-site screening and monitoring, simpler formats, like mix-and-read assays, e.g., the Fluorescence Polarization Immunoassay (FPIA) [2] or Lateral-flow Immunoassays (LFIA) [3] are more suitable tools, the latter based on dipsticks or little cassettes, with which users have become very familiar during the COVID-19 pandemic via rapid antigen tests. The suitability of multi-analyte formats such as immunomicroarrays depends on the choice of a signal-producing system that provides small uncertainties and good reproducibility of the measurements. Bead-based (“suspension”) arrays, read out in flow cytometers, are a powerful platform for multiplex assays [4]. Electrochemical formats, run on portable devices, provide additional advantages as no light source is required. They are most promising for stand-alone analysers and biosensors [5]. The speed, low cost and on-site capabilities of these methods allow to gather a lot more data on anthropogenic compounds which enables to quantify inputs, differences in degradation power of elimination processes, dilution phenomena and a more precise image of individual water cycles which is demonstrated by several examples.

Microplate-based assays such as ELISA have been adopted early in environmental and food analysis.

In order to monitor the drinking water quality continuously and enable quick countermeasures in case of contamination, novel sensors are required. Here, immunoanalytical methods based on the binding of the analyte to highly selective antibodies can be helpful. In this work, magnetic bead-based immunoassays (MBBAs) have been developed for the detection of two relevant contaminants of drinking water: diclofenac (DCF) and amoxicillin (AMX). In case of the latter, not only the parent drug is of interest in the risk assessment but also its hydrolysis products (HPs). In a comprehensive study, the influence of external factors and intrinsic properties of the water on the rate of hydrolysis was investigated. As the hydrolysis of AMX further impacts the recognition by the antibody, a strategy to analyze samples with unknown hydrolysis degree of AMX was established employing the enzyme β-lactamase in sample preparation. For both analytes, the MBBAs enable the fast quantification with results obtained in less than one hour which represents a major improvement over conventional immunoassays like the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Compared to the respective ELISAs with the same antibodies, the MBBAs further exhibit improved analytical parameters such as a broader measurement range and lower limits of detection. Due to the magnetic properties of the beads that serve as a platform for the assays, they are suitable for the mobile and automated detection at the point-of-care. An integrated diagnostic system was designed in which electrochemical detection with chronoamperometry on a microfluidic chip allows for further miniaturization of the system to enable monitoring of the drinking water quality online in water supply pipes at waterworks. N2 - Die Kontamination von Trinkwasser mit Arzneimitteln stellt eine ernste Gesundheitsgefahr dar. Um die Trinkwasserqualität kontinuierlich überwachen und im Falle einer Verunreinigung zeitnah reagieren zu können, sind neuartige Sensoren erforderlich. Hier können immunanalytische Methoden, die auf der Bindung des Analyten an hochselektive Antikörper beruhen, hilfreich sein. In dieser Arbeit wurden magnetpartikelbasierte Immunoassays (MBBAs) für zwei relevante Kontaminanten des Trinkwassers entwickelt: Diclofenac (DCF) und Amoxicillin (AMX). Bei letzterem erwiesen sich neben der Ausgangsverbindung auch dessen Hydrolyseprodukte (HPs) als relevant für die Gefährdungsbeurteilung. In einer umfassenden Studie wurde der Einfluss von externen Faktoren und intrinsischen Eigenschaften des Wassers auf die Hydrolysegeschwindigkeit untersucht. Da die Hydrolyse von AMX auch die Erkennung durch den Antikörper beeinflusst, wurde eine Strategie zur Analyse von Proben mit unbekanntem Hydrolysegrad von AMX unter Verwendung des Enzyms β-Lactamase in der Probenvorbereitung entwickelt. Für beide Analyten ermöglichen die MBBAs eine schnelle Quantifizierung mit Ergebnissen in weniger als einer Stunde, was eine wesentliche Verbesserung gegenüber herkömmlichen Immunoassays wie dem Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) darstellt. Im Vergleich zu den entsprechenden ELISAs mit denselben Antikörpern weisen die MBBAs zudem verbesserte analytische Parameter auf, wie einen breiteren Messbereich und niedrigere Nachweisgrenzen. Aufgrund der magnetischen Eigenschaften der Partikel, die als Plattform für die Assays dienen, eignen sie sich für den mobilen und automatisierten Einsatz vor Ort. Ein integriertes Diagnosesystem, bei dem die elektrochemische Detektion mittels Chronoamperometrie auf einem mikrofluidischen Chip eine weitere Miniaturisierung des Systems ermöglicht, wurde entworfen, um die Überwachung der Trinkwasserqualität online in Wasserwerken zu ermöglichen.

T1 - Antimicrobial Photodynamic Activity of Cationic Nanoparticles Decorated with Glycosylated Photosensitizers for Water Disinfection N2 - The antimicrobial photodynamic approach has been demonstrated as an efficient and sustainable process for the eradication of microbial pathogens. In this work, silica-coated Magnetite nanoparticles (NPs) were used as carriers of glycosylated porphyrins and phthalocyanines. Their subsequent cationization resulted in the production of stable antimicrobial photosensitizing materials, effective against E. coli. Suspensions of the photocatalysts in water present bimodal size distributions formed by big clusters and small NPs with hydrodynamic diameters between 8 and 38 nm. The presence of small NPs in the suspensions is related to an effective photodynamic inactivation (PDI) of E. coli cells. Glycosylation of the PS showed a positive effect on the PDI performance, which could be related to a higher accumulation of the photocatalyst over the bacterial cell membrane. In addition, these biocidal agents proved to be photostable and their photoactive performance decreased only between 23% and 28% upon 5 PDI cycles, mostly because of the loss of material between cycles, which makes them promising materials for water disinfection purposes.

In eukaryotes, the multiple steps of biogenesis are accomplished by complex protein machineries in both mitochondria and cytosol. The underlying biochemical pathways have been elucidated over the past decades, yet the mechanisms of cytosolic [2Fe-2S] protein assembly have remained ill-defined. Similarly, the precise site of glutathione (GSH) requirement in cytosolic and nuclear Fe/S protein biogenesis is unclear, as is the molecular role of the GSH-dependent cytosolic monothiol glutaredoxins (cGrxs). Here, we investigated these questions in human and yeast cells by various in vivo approaches. [2Fe-2S] cluster assembly of cytosolic target apoproteins required the mitochondrial ISC machinery, the mitochondrial transporter Atm1/ABCB7 and GSH, yet occurred independently of both the CIA system and cGrxs. This mechanism was strikingly different from the ISC-, Atm1/ABCB7-, GSH-, and CIA-dependent assembly of cytosolic–nuclear [4Fe-4S] proteins. One notable exception to this cytosolic [2Fe-2S] protein maturation pathway defined here was yeast Apd1 which used the CIA system via binding to the CIA targeting complex through its C-terminal tryptophan. cGrxs, although attributed as [2Fe-2S] cluster chaperones or trafficking proteins, were not essential in vivo for delivering [2Fe-2S] clusters to either CIA components or target apoproteins. Finally, the most critical GSH requirement was assigned to Atm1-dependent export, i.e. a step before GSH-dependent cGrxs function. Our findings extend the general model of eukaryotic Fe/S protein biogenesis by adding the molecular requirements for cytosolic [2Fe-2S] protein maturation.

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a toxic low-molecular-weight secondary fungal metabolite produced mainly by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus not only at pre-harvest time but also at post-harvest stages including storage. AFB1 was classified as a Group I carcinogen by the World Health Organization for Research on Cancer in 1993. AFB1 is able to naturally contaminate medicinal plants and therefore causing serious health issues for humans consuming the related medicine. This study aimed to develop an efficient fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA) and for the first time a rapid (5-10 min), low-cost, and simple membrane-based flow-through immunoassay (MBA) for determination of AFB1 in medical herbs based on a monoclonal antibody. Methods. Two different techniques for AFB1detection in medical herbs (Herba Orígani vulgáris, Folia Urticae, Fructus Rubi idaei) were developed and compared, namely an easy-to-use semi-quantitative flow-through membrane-based enzyme immunoassay (MBA), and a homogeneous method which needs no separation or washing steps (assay time 10 min), a quantitative fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA). Results. A cut-off level of the developed MBA can vary wide from 0.8 ppb to 1 ppb. The FPIA method showed a linear working range of 8.6 ppb to 64 ppb, IC50 of FPIA is 24 ppb. The results were in good correlation with the ELISA results (IC50 = 0.1 ppb). LC–MS/MS was used to confirm the results, too. Conclusion. MBA can be used for a quick on-site AFB1 detection in medical herbs (Herba Orígani vulgáris (Oríganum vulgáre), Folia Urticae (Urtíca dióica), Fructus Rubi idaei (Rúbus idáeus)), the developed test does not require special equipment and is not time-consuming (5-10min), includes several simple steps and can be performed directly on-site. The major advantages of the developed FPIA are its simplicity and suitability for a rapid screening of a large number of samples.

BPA released from bottles made of polycarbonates has been identified as a potential endocrine disrupting substance. Comprehensive research has been undertaken to test and verify its effect on animals and human beings. Many methods have been proposed for the determination of BPA, in particular, gas and liquid chromatography. The main disadvantages of such approaches are the high cost of the equipment, the significant duration of an analysis, and difficulties in screening a large number of samples. Lateral Flow ImmunoAssay (LFIA) attributes are high throughput, high specificity and sensitivity, as well as low cost and simplicity. An LFIA test strip was developed. This LFIA is based on anti-BPA antibodies (from mouse) conjugated with gold nanoparticles as the marker by passive absorption and covalent coupling, deposited in an elaborate pad. To form control and test zones, anti-mouse antibody and a BVA-BSA conjugate were spotted on the nitrocellulose membrane, respectively. Negative samples are revealed by red lines both in the test and control zones, respectively, whereas positive samples produce a single red line only in the control zone. The measurement range is 0.05 – 23 μg/L, visually detected by the naked eye within 5 minutes. In addition, the intensities at the test line can be read by dedicated lateral flow readers (opTrilyzer® and Cube by opTricon, Berlin) for a more precise and documented determination.

An average of 70 % of the ingested diclofenac is excreted in the urine. Thus, 63 tons per year are introduced into the water cycle in Germany. Due to insufficient removal of diclofenac in wastewater treatment plants, residues of diclofenac can be found in surface water and sometimes in drinking water. In order to establish an immunoassay, an anti-DCF antibody was required. Some antibody developments have been reported, based on an immunogen resulting from direct coupling of diclofenac to proteins via the carboxylic function. Finally, we used a monoclonal antibody, clone F01G21.

Due to their high chemical stability and resistance to degradation by heat or acids, PFAS were used in a variety of consumer products. The continuous use of PFAS in household products and the discharge of PFAS from industrial plants into the sewer system resulted in the contamination of effluents and sewage sludge from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) (Roesch et al. 2022). Since sewage sludge is often used as fertilizer, its application on agricultural soils has been observed as a significant entry path for PFAS into the environment, specifically in our food chain. In Germany the sewage sludge/biosolid application on agricultural land was banned with the amendment of the German Sewage Sludge Ordinance and by 2029 sewage sludge application will be totally prohibited. However, phosphorus (P) from sewage sludge should still be recycled in WWTPs of cities with a population larger than 50,000 residents. To produce high-quality P-fertilizers for a circular economy, PFAS and other pollutants (e.g. pesticides and pharmaceuticals) must be separated from sewage sludge. Due to the strong diversity of industrial PFAS usage it is not clear if a safe application of novel recycled P-fertilizers from WWTPs can be guaranteed. Therefore, we analyzed various sewage sludges and wastewater-based fertilizers. Sewage sludge (SL) samples from various WWTPs in Germany and Switzerland, six sewage sludge ashes (SSA) from Germany, six thermally treated SL and SSA samples with different additives (temperatures: 700-1050 °C), two pyrolyzed SL samples (temperature: 400 °C) and two struvite samples from Germany and Canada were analyzed. The goal was to quantify PFAS in sewage sludges and wastewater-based P-fertilizers with the sum parameter extractable organic fluorine (EOF) by combustion ion chromatography (CIC). The results were compared with data from classical LC-MS/MS target analysis as well as selected samples by HR-MS suspect screening. The EOF values of the SLs mainly range between 154 and 538 µg/kg except for one SL which showed an elevated EOF value of 7209 µg/kg due to high organofluorine contamination. For the SSA samples the EOF values were lower and values between LOQ (approx. 60 µg/kg) and 121 µg/kg could be detected. For the pyrolyzed SLs no EOF values above the LOQ were detected. Moreover, the two wastewater-based struvite fertilizers contain 96 and 112 µg/kg EOF, respectively. In contrast to the EOF values, the sum of PFAS target values were relatively low for all SLs. Additional applied PFAS HR-MS suspect screening aimed to tentatively identify PFAS that could contribute to the hitherto unknown part of the EOF value. The majority of the detected fluorinated compounds are legacy PFAS such as short- and long-chain perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCA), perfluorosulfonic acids (PFSA), polyfluoroalkyl phosphate esters (PAPs) and perfluorophosphonic acids (PFPA). Moreover, fluorinated pesticides, pharmaceutical as well as aromatic compounds were also identified, which are all included in the EOF parameter. Our research revealed that the current PFAS limit of 100 µg/kg for the sum of PFOS + PFOA in the German Fertilizer Ordinance is no longer up to date. Since the number of known PFAS already exceeds 10,000, the ordinance limit should be updated accordingly. Recent regulations and restrictions on using long-chain PFAS (≥C8) have resulted in a significant shift in the industry towards (ultra-)short-chain alternatives, and other, partly unknown, emerging PFAS. Ultimately, also fluorinated pesticides and pharmaceuticals, which end up as ultrashort PFAS in the WWTPs, have to be considered as possible pollutants in fertilizers from wastewater, too.
