The Eurofins Abraxis Cylindrospermopsin Strip Test for Water is a rapid immunochromatographic test designed solely for use in the qualitative screening of Cylindrospermopsin in fresh water. A rapid cell lysis step (QuikLyse™) performed prior to testing is required to measure total Cylindrospermopsin (dissolved, or free, plus cell-bound). The Eurofins Abraxis Microcystins Strip Test provides only preliminary qualitative test results. If necessary, positive samples can be confirmed by ELISA, HPLC or other conventional methods.
