METHOD AND APPARATUS USEFUL IN GEOCHEMICAL EXPLORATION FOR PETROLEUM OILS

摘要

METHOD AND APPARATUS USEFUL IN GEOCHEMICAL EXPLORATION FOR PETROLEUM OILS A method of environmental sampling, by contacting an environmental sample from a geographical region with a binding partner capable of immunologically nonspecific binding to a target analyte selected from among petroleum oils and toxic organic chemicals, detecting binding of the binding partner to the sample, and correlating the detected binding to the presence of the target analyte in the geographical region from which the environmental sample was obtained; and reagent kits therefor.
