THE U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA) AS WELL AS MULTIPLE WATER TREATMENT PLANTS AROUND THE LAKE ERIE BASIN ALSO USE ABRAXIS� MICROCYSTIN (ADDA) ELISA TEST KITS TO MONITOR THEIR WATERS FOR MICROCYSTINS. IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN LONG-TERM INTEGRITY IT IS CRITICAL THAT NOAA USES THE SAME KITS YEAR AFTER YEAR. THESE TEST KITS MEET ALL SPECIFICATIONS. THE ABRAXIS� MICROCYSTIN (ADDA) ELISA TEST KITS ARE IN A 96 WELL PLATE FORMAT, HAVE A DETECTION LIMIT OF 0.1 PPB OR LOWER, AND HAVE A STANDARD RANGE BETWEEN 0-5 PPB OR GREATER. THE ABRAXIS� SAXITOXIN ELISA KITS ARE IN A 96 WELL PLATE FORMAT, RECOGNIZES SAXITOXIN, AND HAVE A STANDARD RANGE BETWEEN 0-40 PPB. THESE TEST KITS ARE REQUIRED DUE TO THE SPECIFIC CHEMICALS NEEDING TO BE IDENTIFIED. IF THE OF KITS ARE CHANGED, THE DATA AND ANALYSIS OF HARMFUL CYANOBACTERIA TOXICITY LEVELS WITHIN THE GREAT LAKES REGION WOULD BE COMPROMISED AND DATA WOULD NO LONGER BE COMPARABLE TO OTHER RESEARCH ENTITIES WITHIN THE REGION.
