微囊藻毒素快速盒(试管型)是一种简单快速的酶催化检测方法, 主要是检测水中的微囊藻毒素和节球藻毒素类成分. It is based on the mechanism of action of microcystins on protein phosphatase PP2A present in liver cells. The test measures the activity of PP2A in water samples potentially contaminated with these toxins. It is therefore an in vitro assay that quantify the toxicity of all MCs present in the sample and check whether the toxin concentration is over the maximum allowed levels (1 µg/L, OMS 1998).
