Rapid microcystin-LR detection using antibody-based electrochemical biosensors with a simplified calibration curve approach by Samuel Adjei-Nimoh, Lance-Nicolas Rances, Maha A. Tony, Hossam A. Nabwey, Woo Hyoung Lee

“…The simplified calibration curve was developed and used to predict unknown MC-LR concentrations in several lake water samples with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 1.0–4.4% and a recovery of 75–112%, indicating the suitability of the developed biosensor and a streamlined calibration curve for rapid MC-LR measurements for different water bodies with similar water quality. This approach can therefore reduce the need for frequent calibration efforts and can be employed as the first line of testing for MC-LR in drinking and recreational water sources, especially in emergencies.…”
