Criteria for Quality Control Protocols for Various Algal Toxin Methods

Abstract

This project established a set of criteria to be used by laboratories providing algal toxin analyses to drinking water utilities and provided a quality control/quality assurance checklist for drinking water utilities to assess the applicability and quality of the analytical results they obtain. Published in 2012.
