Evaluation of fluorochromes and excitation sources for immunofluorescence in water samples.
Cytometry 1997 October 2
Fluorescent labelling methods for detecting microorganisms in water have limited sensitivity partly due to the natural autofluorescence from environmental particles. The aim of this study was to examine the autofluorescence of water samples to determine the optimal excitation source and fluorescent labels for minimising background autofluorescence and therefore enhancing sensitive detection of Cryptosporidium oocysts. Particles concentrated from water were examined using fluorimetry at a wide range of excitation wavelengths to determine their autofluorescent properties. Two major peaks were identified emitting at 390 to 510 nm and at 640 to 700 nm. Flow cytometry was used to define the optical properties of oocysts immunofluorescently labelled with a range of fluorochromes. Concentrated water samples were analysed using flow cytometry and the number of particles with fluorescence and light scatter properties similar to the fluorescently labelled oocysts recorded. Fluorescein isothiocyanate exited at 488 nm was the most suitable label for oocysts in untreated water with less than 70 particles having optical properties similar to labelled oocysts, detected in 10 litre concentrates. The fluorochromes CY3, phycoerythrin (PE), and tetramethylrhodamine B thioisocyanate (TRITC) excited at 542 nm were the most suitable labels for oocysts in drinking water with less than 40 particles having optical properties similar to labelled oocysts, detected in 100 litre concentrates.
