GreenWater Laboratories (USA) and RPC (Canada) are partnering with Phytoxigene to offer free analysis of 2 raw water samples until May 31, 2026 to drinking water utilities and water managers. (New customers only, please.) The analysis being offered is in Standard Methods 10120 and includes detection of the genes responsible for the production of Microcystin, Cylindrospermopsin, Saxitoxin, and 16s (the gene common to all cyanobacteria).

Many of our customers have GreenWater Laboratories or RPC analyze samples on their behalf. Both laboratories bring a high degree of expertise and precision. We highly recommend them!
