MICROCYSTIN - QuickTube™ Kit (ELISA Kit)
|  |
Intended Use
|
The
EnviroLogix Microcystin Tube Kit Is Designed For Semi-Quantitative
Field Screening Of Microcystin Toxin In Surface Water
Samples. The Kit Is Supplied With Calibrators At 0.5
And 3 Ppb. The Assay Range Can Easily Be Extended.
| |
General |
The
EnviroLogix Microcystin Tube Kit is a competitive Enzyme-Linked
ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA). In the test, Microcystin
toxin in the sample competes with enzyme (horseradish
peroxidase) labeled Microcystin for a limited number
of antibody binding sites on the inside surface of the
test tubes. After a simple wash step, the outcome of
the competition is visualized with a color development
step. As with all competitive immunoassays, sample
concentration is inversely proportional to color development.
Darker
color = Lower concentration
Lighter
color = Higher concentration
The
EnviroLogix Microcystin Tube Kit can be used in the
following testing applications:
- Early
Warning Of Bloom Formation And Water Quality Degradation.
- On-Site
Ground And Surface Water Screening And Monitoring.
- Ensure
Guidance Levels Are Not Exceeded In Drinking Water,
Surface Water, And Algae Based Food Supplements.
- Quality
Control Testing Of Raw Material And Finished Algae
Based Products.
