Simple, reliable testing for algal toxins
Harmful algal blooms in freshwater systems are becoming increasingly common and present critical threats to drinking water systems, aquaculture, and recreational waters. The precise measurement of algal toxins is essential for the effective management of water resources and compliance with regulatory advisories. LightDeck® makes it easy for users to accurately measure algal toxins and protect public health as well as environmental integrity.
Use the LightDeck MINI for the simultaneous measurement of microcystins, nodularins and cylindrospermopsin in freshwater samples.
Innovative technology
• The LightDeck software, running on the user's external host computer, analyzes images of the array taken by the system and displays quantitative, speciated algal toxin test results to the user.
Simplified workflow
• The LightDeck MINI system works with a single-use, disposable cartridge which contains a printed microarray designed to test a sample for algal toxins.
Rapid detection
• The LightDeck MINI generates precise, quantitative algal toxin measurements in about 10 minutes—a fraction of the time required by other cyanotoxin testing methods.
Multiplex testing
• The LightDeck MINI utilizes the world's first duplex microcystin (MC) / cylindrospermopsin (CYN) assay cartridge to measure two common algal toxins within one test.
