Description
Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a microcystin detection chip. The invention also relates to a kit with the detection chip and a method for detecting microcystin using the kit. Background technique
[0002] Cyanobacteria are also known as "blue-green algae". In some nutrient-rich water bodies, certain cyanobacteria often multiply in summer to form "blooms". While causing the deterioration of water quality, certain "blooms" species also produce biologically toxic secondary metabolites called "cyanobacterial toxins." The release of these cyanobacteria toxins directly harms fish, humans and animals. Cyanobacteria toxins can be divided into four categories according to the different diseases that they ultimately cause: neurotoxins, liver toxins, cytotoxins and irritant toxins. Among the four types of toxins, the hepatic toxin, microcystin, is the most harmful to the public's health, and the serious one can cause its death. Therefore, scientists from various countrie...
