Hey guys, I'm currently working on a project that is looking at cyanotoxins in soil after irrigation with contaminated waters, and I need a way to test the concentration of cyanotoxins in the soil. With research I have identified methods for testing cyanotoxins in liquid samples (microscopic analysis, ELISA) as well as method for extracting cyanobacteria from the soil (centrifuging with ethanol) however what I cannot find any mention of is a way to extract cyanotoxins from the soil so I can use the aforementioned liquid testing methods. Can any one help me with this? Even just direction to a good source or paper would be much appreciated. Thanks
