The Short Course “Immunoanalytical Methods for Environmental, Food and Clinical Analysis” offers training in antibody-based analytical techniques. The course is suitable also for beginners. The Short Course comprises Lecture Units teaching the concepts, equipment, reagents and explains the protocols to be used in the practical part. Simple “Hands On” units are offered employing portable instrumentation. – The Short Course spans from antigen production, generation of antibodies, assay development and optimization, data evaluation to the different formats that have been developed. Examples are provided from the areas of environmental analysis (pharmaceuticals, hormones and anthropogenic markers in water and wastewater), food analysis (caffeine in beverages, mycotoxins) and clinical diagnostics (infarction biomarkers). The attendants will be enabled to select an appropriate method and to judge its applicability for their given analytical problem.
A vast number of emerging pollutants is being detected in the environment. Another lingering problem are health-threatening contaminants, such as mycotoxins, that deteriorate food and feed.
Analytical methods, suitable for trace analysis, are needed that are desirably also fast, inexpensive and, if possible, robust, and portable. Immunoanalytical, i.e., anti-body-based technologies, which are available in a broad range of formats, can be profitably used here to analyze for the distribution and the concentration trends of contaminants.
Some of these formats are single-analyte but high-throughput methods. To use them wisely, indicator substances or sum parameters must be established to be used in screening approaches. Other methods are suitable to be performed on portable in-strumentation in the field (on-site), more precisely at the point-of-need. Furthermore, there are array technologies that allow for parallel analysis of several analytes of interest (multiplexing). The talk reports on methods and data for compounds con-sidered as anthropogenic contamination markers (the antiepileptic carbamazepine, the analgesic diclofenac, the anti-histaminic cetirizine, the steroid hormone estrone, the antimicrobial amoxicillin, the stimulants caffeine and cocaine, the endocrine disruptor bisphenol A, and a bile acid). Some work on mycotoxins (ochratoxin A and ergot alkaloids) is also presented. It is demonstrated that antibody-based technolo-gies have a huge potential to gain analytical insights at the point-of-need.
Im Vorhaben „MARKERIA - Bestimmung von anthropogenen Markerkonzentrationen für die SARS-CoV-2 Quantifizierung mittels eines Hochdurchsatzverfahrens (ELISA)“ geht es um die Bestimmung von Carbamazepin, Diclofenac, Koffein und einer endogenen Gallensäure als potentielle Marker für die Kalibrierung der SARS-CoV-2 Quantifizierung im Abwasser. Der Vortrag wurde gehalten im Rahmen der 22. Sitzung des Begleitkreises des übergeordneten Projektes ESI-CorA. Er gab den Projektstand wieder, den die BAM bis dahin erzielt hatte. Die Marker waren in sämtlichen untersuchten Abwasser-Zulaufproben enthalten und zeigten spezifische Trends. Weitere Korrelationen müsse die weitergehende Datenauswertung ergeben.A
