Author: University of Dundee
Document Type: Monograph
Abstract:
The overall project objective is to validate for the NRA the development and performance of the field test kit for microcystin-LR (MC-LR) developed by Biocode, and develop field procedures for its use by NRA staff. The specific objectives to be carried out during the present reporting period were as follows: Continue optimisation of cell lysis procedure; Continue purification of microcystih variants; Continue collection of field samples of cyanobacteria/water; Evaluate MAbs (by ELISA) and validate preliminary columns; Assess the linkage on MAb(s) to column support materials; Compare Biocode test kits for specificity, recovery capacity, and detection limits for microcystins from aquatic environments with standard laboratory methods.
