PP2A (protein phosphatase inhibition) based ELISA kit for detection of microcystins/nodularins.

Nodularin analytical standards, available in standard and certified versions.

Kit for detection of okadaic acid (DSP toxin), available in ELISA format and based on protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) inhibition.

Aeromonas spp. detection test kit by using qPCR. The organisms are ubiquitous in fresh and brackish water. Have been associated with human diseases, gastroenteritis and wound infections.

Dreissena polymorpha detection test kit by using qPCR. The zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) is a small freshwater mussel. The zebra mussel has been accidentally introduced to numerous other areas and has become an invasive species in many countries worldwide. They disrupt the ecosystems by monotypic colonization, and damage harbors and waterways, ships and boats, and water treatment and power plants.

Legionella pneumophila by using qPCR. Legionella pneumophila is the primary human pathogenic bacterium in this group and is the causative agent of legionellosis or Legionnaires’ disease, a severe form of pneumonia. L. pneumophila is found naturally in most freshwater sources, including lakes, ponds, and rivers. It is found in cooling towers, plumbing systems, water heaters, and warm water spas. It has also been isolated from soil samples.

The Real Time PCR detection Kit Legionella pneumophila serotype 1 comprises a series of specific targeted reagents designed for Legionella pneumophila serotype 1 detection by using qPCR.

Legionella species by using qPCR. The genus Legionella is a pathogenic group of gram negative bacterium that includes the species L. pneumophila, the causative agent of Legionnaires Disease, and L. longbeachae which causes Pontiac Fever. Legionella is common in many environments, including soil and aquatic systems. In humans, the species L. pneumophila invades and replicates in macrophages.

The Real Time PCR detection Kit Microcystine toxin gene mcyB comprises a series of specific targeted reagents designed for Microcystine toxin gene mcyB detection by using qPCR.

The Real Time PCR detection Kit Microcystine toxin gene mcyE comprises a series of specific targeted reagents designed for Microcystine toxin gene mcyE detection by using qPCR.
