Fast, sensitive, and especially, multianalyte test systems are currently of high interest for the monitoring and quality control of drinking water, since traditional microbiological methods are labor intensive and can take days until a response is achieved. In this study, the first flow-through chemiluminescence microarray was developed and characterized for the rapid and simultaneous detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella typhimurium, and Legionella pneumophila in water samples using a semiautomated readout system. Therefore, antibody microarrays were produced on poly(ethylene glycol)modified glass substrates by means of a contact arrayer. For capturing bacteria, species-specific polyclonal antibodies were used. Cell recognition was carried out by binding of species-specific biotinylated antibodies. Chemiluminescence detection was accomplished by a streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase (HRP) catalyzed reaction of luminol and hydrogen peroxide. The chemiluminescence reaction that occurred was recorded by a sensitive charge-coupled device (CCD) camera. The overall assay time was 13 min, enabling a fast sample analysis. In multianalyte experiments, the detection limits were 3 x 10(6), 1 x 10(5), and 3 x 10(3) cells/mL for S. typhimurium, L pneumophila, and E. coli O157:H7, respectively. Quantification of samples was possible in a wide concentration range with good recoveries. The presented system is well suited for quick and automatic water analysis.
