Attogene’s Microcystin Test Kit (Rapid – Lab) can be used to detect microcystins in liquid samples.
• Format: 10 tests
• Run Time: 10 Minutes
The most frequently reported cyanobacterial toxins are the hepatotoxic microcystins (MCs). MCs are peptides with a molecular weight ranging from 900 to 1,100 Da. They consist of seven amino acids of which the two terminal amino acids of the linear peptide are condensed to form a cyclic compound.
A tiered notification system which takes different actions based on different numeric thresholds for microcytin-LR concentrations in recreational waters has been developed. This is guidance that allows states to take various actions—such as posting information about harmful algal blooms (HABs), issuing a recreational public health advisory, or temporarily closing recreational waters through a no contact advisory—depending on the severity of the bloom event.
Microcystin-LR
Informational sign postings about HABs at recreational waters: < 6 μg/L Recreational public health advisory: 6 μg/L Elevated recreational public health advisory (e.g. no contact): 20 μg/L
Short term stability: 2-8oC, Long term stability: See individual component labels
Stability:
> 2 years under recommended storage conditions
Analyte:
Phosphate
Assay Format:
Spectrophotometer, Auto-analyser
Detection Method:
Absorbance
Wavelength (nm):
360
Signal Response:
Increase
Linear Range:
0.1 to 10 μg of phosphate per assay
Limit of Detection:
0.16 mg/L
Reaction Time (min):
~ 20 min
Application examples:
Processed foods and drinks, bakery products, dairy products, waste water samples, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and other materials (e.g. biological cultures, etc.).
The Phosphate Assay Kit is a rapid, simple, reliable and accurate method for the specific measurement and analysis of phosphate in water, foodstuffs, beverages and other materials. The phosphate detection reaction employs the defined chemical substrate 2-amino-6-mercapto-7-methylpurine ribonucleoside (MESG). In the presence of phosphate, the substrate is converted enzymatically by purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNPase) to the products ribose 1-phosphate and 2-amino-6-mercapto-7-methylpurine. An application note describes the dephosphorylation reaction of phytic acid using phytase and alkaline phosphatase (sold separately), and subsequent phosphate detection using the reagents provided in K-PHOS.
This method is suitable for analysis using spectrophotometer and auto-analyser.
Note for Content: The number of manual tests per kit can be doubled if all volumes are halved.

Non-woven gas permeable seal that limits evaporation. The seal is peelable, pierceable; suitable for cell culture and seed & insect storage too.
Heat sealing offers a 100% effective method for plate sealing for a complete seal integrity, as well as being quick and cost effective
Our Gas PermASeal Heat Seal is made from a non-woven material and is designed for use in cell culture, due to its porous nature
The seal is compatible with polypropylene and polystyrene
It can be removed by peeling, or it can be pierced with a pipette tip manually, using a liquid handling robot.
Gas PermASeal Heat Seal can be utilized for effective overnight incubations, during which it demonstrates significant reductions in evaporation compared to lids
It can also be used for insect and seed storage as it enables gas exchange, whilst providing an inert surface with no adhesive to interfere with the well contents
This seal is available as sheets, for use with manual and semi-automated sealers, such as our HeatASeal 500 Sealing Machine
Also available in multiple roll formats compatible with specified automated heat sealers, such as our Wasp or Chameleon XT

endo-BCN-pentanoic acid is a click chemistry reagent containing a BCN group and a terminal carboxylic acid. The BCN group can react with azide-tagged compounds or biomolecules. The terminal carboxylic acid can react with primary amine groups in the presence of activators (e.g. EDC, or HATU) to form a stable amide bond. Reagent grade, for research purpose.
