  • 1993 Evaluation of immunoassay kits for 2,4-D:
    In 1993 an evaluation investigation was conducted, in order of WRK (Drinking Water Company Rijn-Kennemerland) in Nieuwegein (The Netherlands) regarding the applicability of commercially available immunoassays kits to analyse 2.4-dichloro-phenoxy acetic acids in surface water.
  • 1994 Applicability of the immunoassay for 2,4-D
    In continuation of the above evaluation investigation, again in order of the WRK, a commercially available immunoassay kit was applied in an “early warning”-program. During 10 months samples from Rhine water were collected daily to batchwise analyse them by the kit. The objective was the early detection of any possible concentration decrease of 2.4-D in the river Rhine.
  • 1994 Immunochemical detection of isoproturon:
    During a period of relatively increased concentrations of isoproturon in the river Rhine, in a number of water samples the concentra¬tion of isoproturon was analysed by a commercial available immu¬noassay. The results were compared with the reference assays that were conducted by WRK.
  • 1995 Immunochemical detection of phenylurea herbicides:
    In order of the WRK, two commercially available immunoassay kits for phenylurea herbicides were tested. One is specific for isoproturon, the other provides a sum parameter for this group of compounds. In springtime Rhine water samples will be measured on a regular basis during several months with both of the kits. These projects were conducted in 1995 – 2002.
  • 1995 The Development of immunoaffinity columns for pesticides:
    In cooperation with WRK, RIZA, KIWA and J.T. Baker efforts are being made for the development of IAC-columns for the extraction, purification and concentration of pesticides from surface water. For multiple target compounds various antibodies were linked to various supports. The developed columns were tested and evaluated; measuring was done by immunoassay, HPLC en GC.
  • 1995 Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) of PAH:
    For the extraction of PAH from aqueous samples the feasibility of extraction using disks was tested. The use of extraction disks should lead to more efficient collection, extraction and storage of samples.
  • 1995 Investigation into indicative methods and group and sum parameters:
    Project in cooperation with ICWS (Amsterdam), KIWA (Nieuwegein), RIVM (Bilthoven) en Aquasens (Amsterdam). This investigation was financed by STOWA. Investigation into promising indicative analyse techniques for the quality control in water management. After desk research, the most promising methods were evaluated and validated in comparison to the classical methods of reference on laboratory level. Than the tested methods were applied in a number of investigation projects and carried out by the laboratories of the water management companies. The results were published in 3 different successive STOWA rapports.
  • 1997 On-line detection of pesticides in surface water:
    In cooperation with Isogen B.V. (Maarssen) and WRK (Nieuwegein), an on-line detection system for pesticides is developed. In this method immunoaffinity columns are used for selective extraction of the target compounds. This project is carried out within the scope of a BTS-grant.

    In cooperation with KUN (Nijmegen) and Future Diagnostics B.V. (Wijchen) investigations will be conducted for the possibility of the application of Phage Display Technique for the production of antibody fragments. These fragments shall be used for the development of immunoassays and immunoaffinity columns for detection en quantifying pesticides, vitamine D and renine. Further, in the scope of this project, polyclonale as well as monoclonal antibodies will be produced, for use in ELISA as well as IAC. This project has been conducted within the scope of a BTS-grant.
  • 1999 Development of Multi Analite Immunoassays en Immunosensors:
    In cooperation with Microgen Ltd. (G.B.), Waterlaboratory Edam and TNO (Zeist) investigation is directed for the development of Multi Analyte Immunoassays for the simultaneous measurement of various pesticides. Using the same materials an immunosensor for field application will be developed. The format of the MAI will be an ELISA or a FIA on a microtiterplate. The application will initially be directed on screening of pesticides in water samples in the scope of water quality management. In addition, the assay will be adapted to measurements in foods. The immunosensor to be developed initially will be developed for the rapid field measurement of groups of organophosphate pesticides. This project is carried out within the scope of a EC-grant (Craft).
  • 1999 Development of a test for estrogenic activity of environmental contaminants:
    In the scope of an international research into the biological activity of environmental contaminants ELTI Support did the part concerning estrogenic activity. For this purpose an assay will be developed, for rapid analysis of an estrogenic activity from a certain compound based on its activity for hormone-binding protein (SHBG) from human blood. This assay is similar to ELISA in that displacement of an enzyme tracer from the binding protein by the compound to be measured is used. (This is part of a patent application).
  • 2000-2003 IAC-OESA:
    Immunoaffinity chromatography in combination with an estrogenic as¬say/sensors for the determination of van estrogenic activity of environmental contaminants. Project in cooperation with Rikilt (Wageningen), Merksa (Groningen), ResQ Lab (Nijeveen) and Analytical Devices (Zeist).
