In addition to the Interlaboratory Study published in January, these two Phytoxigene customers published papers referencing their work using CyanoDTec.
Genomic Identification and Characterization of Saxitoxin Producing Cyanobacteria in Western Lake Erie Harmful Algal Blooms
The Saxitoxin gene target, sxtA (Phytoxigene-CyanoDTec) was detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction during 47 of 76 sampling dates between 2015 and 2019, demonstrating higher sensitivity than metagenomic approaches. sxtA gene abundance was positively correlated with temperature and particulate nitrogen:phosphorus ratio and negatively correlated with ammonium concentration.

Environmental factors driving microcystin contamination of estuarine bivalve populations downstream of freshwater cyanobacterial blooms
The CyanoDTec assay was used to characterize cyanobacteria blooms and microcystin production in freshwater tributaries feeding into estuaries in Long Island, New York.
