GWL/CL Laboratory Services

Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) occur worldwide and can degrade water quality, alter ecology, and produce harmful toxins. GWL/CL is the only private full-service laboratory of its kind in the United States with the unique ability to address HABs. We specialize in the identification and quantification of:

  • algae/cyanobacteria (Microcystis, Anabaena, Cylindrospermopsis, Aphanizomenon, Lyngbya, etc.)
  • cyanobacterial toxin analysis (microcystin(s), cylindrospermopsin, anatoxin, paralytic shellfish toxins/saxitoxin, lyngbyatoxin, aplysiatoxin/debromoaplysiatoxin, domoic acid, BMAA, MMPB, nodularin, etc.)
  • purified algal toxin standards (microcystins, cylindrospermopsin and nodularin)

Please contact us with your specific needs and our highly trained staff will be happy to assist.
