Abstract
A hapten-polymer carrier complex was found to be useful for immunoassay purposes, specifically ELISAs, for the detection of pesticides and their degradation products in hydrosoil and ground water. The degradation products of Casoron G® (also known as dichlorobenzonitrile and dichlorbenil) and Prefix® (also known as chlorthiamid and dichlorobenzthiamide) are analytes detected with high specificity and sensitivity, particularly the degradation product BAM (2,6-dichlorobenzamide). The polymer carrier complex is bound to the hapten via a linker unit, strategically positioned meta to the amide or amide derivative of BAM.
