The talk introduces the technique of LC-ELISA: fractionating pre-concentrated water samples, analyzing them for containing compounds that bind to hapten-selective antibodies followed by high-Resolution mass spectrometry non-target analysis of "positive" fractions for Transformation products of emerging organic contaminants.
A vast number of emerging pollutants has been detected in the environment 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 methods which are available in a broad range of formats, can be profitably used here to analyze 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 the socalled array technologies that allow for parallel analysis of several analytes of interest (multiplexing). The microtiter-plate based ELISA (Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay) is the method of choice for the analysis of a large number of samples [1]. ELISA screening data for anthropogenic markers such as the antiepileptic carbamazepine, the analgesic diclofenac, the anti-histaminic cetirizine, the steroid hormone estrone, the antimicrobial sulfamethoxazole, the stimulants caffeine and cocaine, the priority pollutant bisphenol A, and the bile acid isolithocholic acid [2] are presented. For on-site screening and monitoring, simpler formats, like mix-and-read assays, e.g. the Fluorescence Polarization Immunoassay (FPIA) or Lateral-flow Immunoassays (LFIA) are more suitable tools. Electrochemical formats run on portable devices provide additional advantages as no light source is required. Some examples are presented and discussed. 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. Biochip (“flat”) arrays read out on slide scanners and bead-based (“suspension”) arrays read out in flow cytometers are two options and show their distinct pros and cons. Altogether these approaches show the great potential immunoanalytical methods provide for the screening for environmental contaminants in the aquatic environment.
Portable, antikörperbasierte Analysenverfahren für die Schadstofferfassung im Wasserkreislauf
(2021)
Die Wasseranalytik wird bestimmt von zwei Hauptbedarfen, einerseits der Erfassung der Gewässergüte und Grundwassergüte als Basis für die Bereitstellung einwandfrei-en Trinkwassers und zum anderen des Monitorings der Wasserqualität in den Prozes-sen der Wasseraufbereitung und der Abwasserreinigung. Für beide Anwendungsbe-reiche ist eine laborbasierte Analytik eher hinderlich, werden die Analysenergebnisse doch eigentlich vor Ort benötigt, um etwa Beprobungskampagnen rasch anpassen zu können. Desweiteren werden die Daten auch schnell benötigt, um zeitnah in die technischen Prozesse einzugreifen. Organische Kontaminanten werden meist über chromatographische Verfahren, häufig gekoppelt mit einer massenspektrometrischen Detektion, in instrumentelle Labormethoden erfasst und die hochauflösende Massen-spektrometrie und die Non-target-Analytik haben viel zum Wissen über das Vorkom-men, insbesondere von sog. „emerging contaminants“, beigetragen, sowie zum Ver-ständnis der beteiligten Eintragspfade und Abbauwege. Moderne, portable Analy-senmethoden und insbesondere Sensoren werden zukünftig aber ihren Platz in der Schadstofferfassung im Wasserkreislauf einnehmen. Dies gilt insbesondere für anti-körperbasierte Analysenverfahren, da erst diese oft die nötige Selektivität und Sensitivität in die Detektionsmethoden einbringen.

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.
Antibody-based analytical techniques have gained increasing importance in environmental analysis. Rapid assays, portable devices and formats that require a limited number of steps have a high potential for on-site analysis in outdoor environments or in environmentally relevant facilities such as wastewater treatment plants. Many of these methods have become more sensitive and more versatile due to new, advanced materials, such as novel particles, specifically prepared surfaces, new labels, specifically coated electrodes etc. The talk shows some of our works in this context.

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, and the pathogens themselves. Analytical methods, suitable for trace analysis, are needed that are desirably also fast, inexpensive and, if possible, robust and portable. It is set out, how immunoana-lytical, i.e., antibody-based methods, which are elaborated in a broad range of formats, can be profitably used to gain insights on the distribution and concentration trends of the target analytes at the point-of-need.
Immunoanalytical Techniques, i.e., antibody-based analytical methods, have been used for decades in clinical diagnostics. What makes them attractive for other fields of application is their short time-to-result and high sensitivity. Microplate-based assays such as ELISA have been adopted early in environmental and food analysis. Yet, to make immunoassays even faster, more sensitive, robust, and, most desirable, portable, advanced materials, sometimes developed for other purposes, can be profitably used to achieve these goals. Materials can be novel labels, e.g., chemical or particle labels, such as fluorophores or nanoparticles. Carrier particles, such as magnetic or polymer beads, make it possible to adopt the assays to meso- or microfluidic set-ups and encoding them opens the path to multiplex analysis. Specialty electrodes can enable for higher sensitivity in electrochemical detection. All this broadens the scope of application and lowers effort and cost for analysis at the point-of-need.
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.
Analytical methods based on the selectivity of antibodies, often called immunoassays, are a back-bone of clinical laboratory diagnostics. To bring them to the field, i.e., to make immunoanalytical methods portable, hopefully even faster, more sensitive, and robust, advanced materials are re-quired. Materials can be novel labels, e.g., chemical or particle labels, such as fluorophores or na-noparticles. Carrier particles, such as magnetic or polymer beads, make it possible to adopt the as-says to meso- or microfluidic set-ups and encoding them opens the path to multiplex analysis. Spe-cialty electrodes can enable for higher sensitivity in electrochemical detection. Without research into better materials, efforts to bring analysis to the point-of-need will not bear fruit.

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
Der Vortrag beschreibt den Stand der Arbeiten an der BAM, Fachbereich Umweltanalytik zur Entwicklung von Sensoren für die Wasseranalytik. Er stellt die bisherigen Arbeiten da, die ausgehend von ELISAs, zunehmend portable Plattformen wie FPIA und LFIA umfassen. Beas-based Formate werden von mikrotiterplatten-basierten Techniken auf mikrofluidische Lab-on-Chip-Systeme übertragen, die bei geeigneter Miniaturisierung und Automatisierung als Sensorsysteme angesehen werden können. Der Vortrag endet mit einem Blick auf ein laufendes Monitoring-Projekt von anthropogenen Markern in Abwasser und charakterisiert die Treiber, die die Entwicklung von Sensoren für die Wasseranalytik in den letzten Jahren vorantreiben.
