Summary

Rapid Diagnostics Assays for Water and Food presents novel techniques used to detect harmful chemicals and microbial pathogens in foods and waters. The areas coverd include water microbiology, water chemistry, food microbology and food chemistry, which have both common and unique difficulties have to be overcome. The techniques employed range from highly efficient concentration and sample preparation methods, through cell culture to end detection. The detection methods covered include microscopy, biosensors, immunoassay, calorimeters, and molecular detection/identification.
