Multiplex detection and quantification of bacteria in water by using portable devices are particularly essential in low and middle-income countries where access to clean drinking water is limited. Addressing this crucial problem, we report a highly sensitive immunoassay sensor system utilizing the fluorescence technique with magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to separate target bacteria and two different types of quantum dots (CdTe and Ni doped CdTe QDs) incorporated into a passive microfluidic chip to transport and to form sandwich complexes for the detection of two target bacteria, namelyEscherichia coli(E. coli) andSalmonella enteritidis(S. enteritidis) in less than 60 min. The assay is carried out on a capillary driven microfluidic chip that can be operated by merely pipetting the samples and reagents, and fluorescence measurements are done by using a handheld fluorescence spectrophotometer, which renders the system portable. The linear range of the method was found to be 10(1)to 10(5)cfu mL(-1)for bothE. coliandS. enteritidis. The limit of detection (LOD) was calculated to be 5 and 3 cfu mL(-1)forE. coliandS. enteritidis, respectively. The selectivity of the method was examined by testingEnterobacter dissolvens(E. dissolvens) andStaphylococcus aureus(S. aureus) samples, and no significant interference was observed. The method was also demonstrated to detect bacteria in tap water and lake water samples spiked with target bacteria.

Development of a synthetic strategy for Water soluble tripodal receptors: Two novel fluorescent receptors for highly selective and sensitive detections of Fe3+ and Cu2+ ions and biological evaluation

A general synthetic strategy is developed to synthesize water soluble receptors by employing tripodal system based on a cyclotriphosphaze platform. The developed model is successfully synthesized and characterized by using elemental analysis, FT-IR, MALDI-TOF, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR and P-31 NMR techniques. The fluorescence sensing performance of prepared water soluble tripodal systems were evaluated by UV/Vis and fluorescence spectroscopies. According to obtained results, two novel water-soluble sensing platfor...
Aqueous-Phase Hydrodechlorination of Trichloroethylene over Pd-Based Swellable Organically Modified Silica: Catalyst Deactivation Due to Sulfur Species
Çelik, Gökhan; Gunduz, Seval; Miller, Jeffrey T.; Edmiston, Paul L.; Ozkan, Umit S. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2019-03-13)
One of the problems of catalytic water treatment systems is that sulfur-containing species present in contaminated water have a detrimental effect on the catalytic performance because of strong interactions of sulfur species with active metal sites. In order to address these problems, our research has focused on developing a poison-resistant catalytic system by using a novel material, namely, swellable organically modified silica (SOMS), as a catalyst scaffold. Our previous investigations demonstrated that ...
Cytochrome P4501A and associated mixed-function oxidase induction in fish as a biomarker for toxic carcinogenic pollutants in the aquatic environment
Arinc, E; Sen, A; Bozcaarmutlu, A (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2000-06-01)
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), dioxins, dibenzofurans, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) present in polluted environment induce cytochrome P4501A (CYP1A) isozyme in fish, which in turn results in a marked increased production of carcinogenic metabolites from PAHs. The induction of hepatic CYP1A in fish by certain classes of chemicals has been suggested as an early warning system, a "most sensitive biological response" for assessing environmental contamination conditions. This has implications f...
Rapid and Concomitant Analysis. of Pharmaceuticals in Treated Wastewater by Coated Blade Spray Mass Spectrometry
Poole, Justen J.; Gomez-Rios, German A.; Boyacı, Ezel; Reyes-Garces, Nathaly; Pawliszyn, Janusz (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2017-11-07)
The widespread use of pharmaceuticals in both human and animal populations, and the resultant contamination of surface waters from the outflow of water treatment facilities is an issue of growing concern. This has raised the need for analytical methods that can both perform rapid sample analysis and overcome the limitations of conventional analysis procedures, such as multistep workflows and tedious procedures. Coated blade spray (CBS) is a solid-phase microextraction based technique that enables the direct...
Experimental Study on Maize Cob Trickling Filter-Based Wastewater Treatment System: Design, Development, and Performance Evaluation

In developing countries, good-quality water is contaminated due to the disposal of untreated municipal and industrial wastewater (WW) into natural water reservoirs. Most of the wastewater is not treated properly according to international standards, and usually is disposed of and/or utilized for irrigation without appropriate treatment. The main hurdles in providing wastewater treatment (WWT) in developing countries include high costs, and the poor design, installation, and operation of conventional WWT sys...
