Abstract

A highly sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was applied to the analysis of the atrazine metabolite deethylatrazine in natural water samples. The ELISA, with a detection range between approximately 10 ng/L and 10 µg/L, was performed and validated in microtiter plates; 120 environmental water samples were analyzed with the ELISA. A close correspondence was found between the results of the ELISA and those from GC or HPLC measurements. The correlation coefficient between ELISA and HPLC, based upon 70 water samples, was 0.98 and between ELISA and GC, based upon 50 water samples, 0.99.
