Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a ) Percent signal values obtained for a calibrator containing 25 (yellow columns) or 250 ng/mL of E. coli LPS (orange columns) with respect to zero calibrator (red columns) without pre-incubation and with 5-, 10-, 15-, 30- and 60-min pre-incubation of the calibrators with anti- E. coli antibody solution. ( b ) Percent signal values obtained for a calibrator containing 25 (cyan columns) or 250 ng/mL of S. typhimurium LPS (light blue columns) with respect to zero calibrator (blue columns) without pre-incubation and with 5-, 10-, 15-, 30- and 60-min pre-incubation of the calibrators with anti- S. typhimurium antibody solution. Each point is the mean value of three measurements. Error bars correspond to ±SD.

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a ) Real-time response obtained for S. typhimurium zero calibrator prepared in assay buffer (arrow 1 to 4) or in bottled water (arrow 7 to end). The arrows indicate the sequence of solutions passing over the chip: assay buffer (start to 1); zero calibrator in assay buffer (arrow 1 to 2); biotinylated anti-species specific antibody (arrow 2 to 3); streptavidin (arrow 3 to 4); 50 mM HCl (arrow 4 to 5); 50 mM NaOH (arrow 5 to 6); assay buffer (arrow 6 to 7); zero calibrator in bottled water (arrow 7 to 8); biotinylated anti-species specific antibody (arrow 8 to 9); streptavidin (arrow 9 to end). ( b ) Real-time response obtained for E. coli zero calibrator prepared in milk. The arrows indicate the sequence of solutions passing over the chip: assay buffer (arrow 1 to 2), zero calibrator prepared in milk (arrow 2 to 3), washing buffer (arrow 3 to 4), assay buffer (arrow 4 to 5), biotinylated anti-species-specific antibody (arrow 5 to 6) and streptavidin (arrow 6 to end). Dashed line corresponds to non-specific binding signal.
