Rapid detection of a minute amount of lipopolysaccharide from Salmonella in large volumes by poly(ethyleneimine)-cloth enzyme immunoassay
Utilizing the rapidity in capturing Salmonella lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the macroporous nature of poly(ethyleneimine) immobilized polyester cloth (PEI-cloth), a PEI-cloth disk set in a Swinnex cartridge joined at both ends with 10 ml plastic syringes was repeatedly passed through with an LPS sample in large volumes. The captured LPS on the disk were detected at up to 1 pg, which is equivalent to the amount produced of 16 cells, by cloth enzyme immunoassay.
