ANTIBODIES TO THE FUEL OXYGENATE MTBE AND USE THEREOF IN IMMUNOASSAYS

摘要

Immunoassay of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and related fuel oxygenates and their breakdown products is performed using a monoclonal antibody produced using a hapten with a CH3-O-C(CH3)2-CH2-moiety, preferably CH3-O-C(CH3)2 -(CH2)3-CH(CH3)-CH2-CHO conjugated to a carrier protein.
