IMS method performance analyses for Giardia in water under differing conditions.

چکیده
Immunomagnetic separation (IMS) has been specified as a standard method for the measurement of Giardia under USEPA Method 1623. In this study, IMS was evaluated on the basis of recovery efficiencies for Giardia cysts under various IMS operation conditions. Significant change in recovery was observed by altering the debris ratio of water samples. Notably, cyst recovery efficiencies utilizing IMS dropped with increased turbidity, and results for varying dosages of magnetic beads and cysts indicate that 1 / 100 immunomagnetic beads is sufficient to conjugate large numbers of cysts. Changing vessel volume and replacing the sample buffer had no significant effect on cyst recovery efficiencies.

Introduction: Detection of Cryptosporidium and Giardia parasites in water samples is usually performed by US Environmental Protection Agency 1623 method. Nevertheless, the USEPA1623 method still need improvement, to prevent and control the water borne parasitic disease. Therefore, we undertook the present study. Materials and methods: Totally 48 surface water samples were collected. Four sampl...

Buckling restrained braces (BRBs) have a similar behavior under compression and tension loadings. Therefore, they can be applied as a favorable lateral load resisting system for structures. In the performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE) framework, an intermediate variable called intensity measure (IM) links the seismic hazard analysis with the structural response analyses. An optimal IM...
