Twenty-four hours and one sample identifies the organisms in your bloom, which tells you which toxin is plausible. Reach for a targeted toxin test once you know what you are dealing with — or when you already do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fastest-acting cyanotoxin, and the one most often implicated in sudden animal deaths. Anatoxin-a is a neurotoxin that can kill a dog within an hour of exposure, which is why it was once called Very Fast Death Factor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnatoxin degrades quickly in sunlight and moving water, so timing matters more here than with any other toxin in the Toolbox. A sample taken two days after an incident may come back clean from water that was lethal at the time. If something has happened, sample immediately — ahead of the Rapid Bloom ID if you have to choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScreening is by ELISA, the method behind most state recreational advisory programmes. Sensitive, fast, and appropriate for a swim-or-no-swim decision. It is not congener-specific — it reports a total, not a breakdown. Ask the Boathouse about LC-MS\/MS confirmation if you need congener detail or a regulatory-grade result.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause anatoxin degrades and because ELISA methods for it are less established than for microcystin, we recommend LC-MS\/MS confirmation when the result will be used in an incident investigation. EPA Method 545 is the reference method. Ask the Boathouse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCyanobacteria produce more toxins than these three. Cylindrospermopsin, nodularin, guanitoxin, lyngbyatoxin, BMAA and others can all appear in fresh water.
