Abstract
Provided herein are methods and kits for detecting environmental contaminants using turbidimetric assays. Certain embodiments of the present disclosure are related to methods of obtaining a sample from a test surface and contacting the collected sample with a turbidimetric composition for quantification of an analyte in the sample.
Claims20
A method of quantifying an analyte of interest in a sample, comprising:
- obtaining or having obtained a sample having or suspected of having an analyte of interest, wherein the sample is obtained from a test surface;
- contacting the sample with a turbidimetric composition comprising:
- a detection particle comprising immobilized analyte;
- and
- a binding reagent that specifically binds analyte of interest;
- measuring a turbidity of the composition;
- wherein the measured turbidity corresponds to a quantity of analyte of interest in the sample.
