Abstract

A novel method for antibody immobilization is discussed and applied in a column based flow through immunoassay system (ABICAP). It is shown that porous polyethylene material can be modified with different ω-aminocellulose carbamates yielding an amino group containing biocompatible support for antibody immobilization. Anti-h CRP antibodies can be bound covalently to the surface via various homobifunctional cross-linkers. The antibody modified filters are validated for the CRP determination in a sandwich ABICAP system. In a 10 min test procedure based on colloidal dye particles, a limit of detection of 5 ng CRP mL−1 and coefficients of variation of <9.1% are obtained.mabi201400179-gra-0001
