Bioluminescence for Detection of Trace Compounds
Abstract
The results of the Phase I investigation have met, and in many areas surpassed, the initial expectations of our proposal. These results include: 1) development of a near market-ready biosensor carcinogen detection system for use as a general screening test; 2) detection of Ethidium Bromide in the 1 microgram/ml (1 ppm) range with a yet-to-be optimized genetically cloned sensor; 3) lyophilization and very successful rehydration of cloned biosensors after 1.5 months of storage; 4) early progress in the development of a mercury sensor, which establishes a methodology for the development of a variety of specific biosensors; 5) development of several light detection systems that include two photodiode based systems, two battery-powered photomultiplier system, and two film techniques.
