1. A method for determining the presence or absence of a target organic molecule in a sample which comprises:

  • a. adding a substrate molecule to the sample,b. adding a catalytic monoclonal antibody to the sample which(i) recognizes and binds the target organic molecule when the target organic molecule is present in the sample, or(ii) recognizes, binds, and transforms the substrate molecule when the target organic molecule is not present in the sample; and

    c. detecting a change in the sample signifying the absence of the target organic molecule, the change being the production of a reporter molecule by an antibody-catalyzed reaction of the substrate molecule and thereby determining the presence or absence of the target organic molecule in the sample.
