Routine monitoring of microcystin in natural waters is difficult because the concentration of the toxin is low and the detection method is usually complicated. We developed a rapid analytical detection method of microcystins gold colloidal immunochromatogeraphic strip. The sensitivity of the strip is about 1 ng/mL for microcystin LR; it is able to distinguish visually among different concentrations of microcystin solutions. The developed gold colloidal strip can detect microcystins within 15 min and does not require either a complicated extraction system, or trained or qualified experts.
