Abstract
Disclosed are methods and compositions for the detection of compounds.
Claims27
A method comprising
- bringing into contact luminescent bacteria, a pH adjusting component and a thin-layer chromatography matrix, wherein the chromatography matrix comprises a sample separated by thin-layer chromatography, and
- detecting inhibited luminescence.
A method comprising
- bringing into contact luminescent bacteria and a thin-layer chromatography matrix, wherein the chromatography matrix comprises a sample separated by thin-layer chromatography, wherein the luminescent bacteria are brought into contact with the chromatography matrix by applying the bacteria to the chromatography matrix and using a squeegee effect to remove excess bacteria from the chromatography matrix, and
- detecting inhibited luminescence.
A kit comprising luminescent bacteria and a pH adjusting component.
