Im Zusammenhang mit Planungs- und Entwicklungsaufgaben, den Forderungen in Normen und Regelwerken, in betrieblichen Arbeitsanweisungen, den Vorgaben für Zulieferteile oder bei der Auseinandersetzung mit Schadensfällen stellen sich häufig Fragen zum Korrosionsschutz sowie zu entsprechenden Prüf- und Untersuchungsverfahren. Die daraus gewonnenen Ergebnisse sollen z. B. eine Eignung von Werkstoffen oder Schutzsystemen unter spezifischen Einsatzbedingungen, die Dauerhaftigkeit des Schutzes, den Nachweis einer gleichbleibenden Qualität, die Vergleichbarkeit bekannter mit neuen Korrosionsschutzkonzepten oder den Wirkungsnachweis für gezielte Systemeingriffe belegen. Schnell wird deutlich, dass sich aus dem Blickwinkel verschiedener Branchen ganz unterschiedliche Anforderungsprofile ergeben, die ihren Niederschlag dann in unterschiedlichen Strategien der Prüf- und Untersuchungsverfahren finden.
The presented investigations have proved the principal suitability of the KorroPad method to assess the passive layer stability of stainless steels. The electrochemical mode of action could be described in detail and limitations of the applicability have been demonstrated. The influence of different surface finishes has been investigated and verified by known methods for describing corrosion resistances. As a result, the increased corrosion susceptibility of two ground surfaces has been detected, but also the corrosion resistance of further surface finishes could be confirmed.
Pitting corrosion is one of the most common mechanisms of local passivity breakdown on stainless steels. Electrochemical methods have preferentially been applied for the evaluation of pitting corrosion resistance of stainless steels in laboratory. Nevertheless, some of them are not reliable enough and in general the application of electrochemical methods in the field becomes difficult because of a required deep understanding of corrosion phenomena and measurement technology. A new approach for the evaluation of the pitting corrosion susceptibility of stainless Steel surfaces in the laboratory as well as in the field is frequently demanded by representatives of the metalworking industry. Therefore, the KorroPad-test was invented and patented as part of a research project at the BAM Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing in Germany.
For the antiepileptic drug and anthropogenic marker carbamazepine (CBZ), a fast and cost-effective immunoassay based on fluorescence polarization (FPIA) was developed. The required fluorophore conjugates were synthesized from different fluorescein and CBZ derivatives. The most suitable tracer was CBZ–triglycine–5-(aminoacetamido)fluorescein. Additionally, the applicability of the assay in tubes and on microtiter plates was tested. The first format can be performed in a portable instrument and therefore can be applied in field measurements. The measurement of an individual sample can be carried out within 4 min. This assay shows a measurement range of 2.5–1000 µg L-1 and a test midpoint (or IC50) of 36 µg L-1. The FPIA performed on microtiter plates is useful for the assay development and is suitable for a very high throughput (up to 24 samples in 20 min). The test midpoint of this assay is 13 µg L-1 and the measurement range is 1.5–300 µg L-1. Furthermore, this assay requires smaller sample volumes and less reagents, including the crucial amount of antibody. The applicability of both assays to spiked surface water samples was evaluated. The recovery rates vary between 66–110% on microtiter plates and 81–140% in tubes.
Determination of bile acids in wastewater and surface water samples in Berlin by LC-MS/MS and ELISA
(2014)
Amphibians are undergoing a global decline. One poorly investigated reason could be the pollution of aquatic habitats by endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs). We tested the susceptibility to the synthetically stabilized estrogen 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2) in three deeply diverged anuran species, differing in sex determination systems, types of gonadogenesis and larval ecologies. To understand whether data from the amphibian model Xenopus laevis (Pipidae) are analogous and applicable to only distantly related non-model amphibians, tadpoles of X. laevis, Hyla arborea (Hylidae) and Bufo viridis (Bufonidae) were simultaneously exposed to 50, 500 and 5000 ng/L EE2 from hatching until completion of metamorphosis, using a flow-through-system under identical experimental conditions. Comparing molecularly established genetic with histologically assessed phenotypic sex in all species, we have recently shown that EE2 provoked numerous genetic-male-to-phenotypic-female sex reversals and mixed sex individuals, confirming overall its expected feminizing effect. In the present study, we focus on the influence of EE2 on gonadal and somatic development. Anatomy and histology revealed several species-specific effects. In both non-model species, H. arborea and B. viridis, high numbers of anatomically impaired gonads were observed. In H. arborea, exposed to 5000 ng/L EE2, numerous underdeveloped gonads were detected. Whereas EE2 did not alter snout-to-vent length and body weight of X. laevis metamorphs, H. arborea showed a treatment-dependent decrease, while B. viridis exhibited an increase in body weight and snout-to-vent length. Apart from a concentration-dependent occurrence of yellowish skin color in several H. arborea, no organ-specific effects were detected. Since EE2 ubiquitously occurs in many aquatic ecosystems and affects sexual and somatic development, among EDCs, it may indeed contribute to amphibian decline. The inter-species variation in developmental EE2-effects corroborates species-specific vulnerability differences towards EDCs between deeply diverged amphibian groups
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the anthropogenic marker isolithocholic acid in water
(2016)
Bile acids are promising chemical markers to assess the pollution of water samples with fecal material.
This study describes the optimization and validation of a direct competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the bile acid isolithocholic acid (ILA). The quantification range of the optimized Assay was between 0.09 and 15 mg/L. The assay was applied to environmental water samples. Most studies until now were focused on bile acid fractions in the particulate phase of water samples. In order to avoid tedious sample preparation, we undertook to evaluate the dynamics and significance of ILA levels in the aqueous phase. Very low concentrations in tap and surface water samples made a pre-concentration step necessary for this matrix as well as for wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent. Mean recoveries for spiked water samples were between 97% and 109% for tap water and WWTP influent samples and between 102% and 136% for WWTP effluent samples. 90th percentiles of intra-plate and inter-plate coefficients of variation were below 10% for influents and below 20% for effluents and surface water. ILA concentrations were quantified in the range of 33-72 mg/L in influent, 21-49 ng/L in effluent and 18-48 ng/L in surface water samples. During wastewater Treatment the ILA levels were reduced by more than 99%. ILA concentrations of influents determined by ELISA and LC-MS/MS were in good agreement.
However, findings in LC-ELISA experiments suggest that the true ILA levels in concentrated samples are lower due to interfering effects of matrix compounds and/or cross-reactants. Yet, the ELISA will be a valuable tool for the performance check and comparison of WWTPs and the localization of fecal matter input into surface waters.
