New Laboratory Capability: Testing for Microcystins
Pending approval by the NYSDOH Environmental Laboratory Approval Program, IEC will be certified for EPA Method 546: Determination of Total Microcystins and Nodularins in Drinking Water and Ambient Water by Adda Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). This method measures the total concentration of microcystins based on the detection of a characteristic feature common to microcystins using absorbance of the sample after it has been treated for analysis.
