Microalgae Direct Extract Reagent for Heterocapsa triquetra

Objective Heterocapsa triquetra (H. triquetra) is classified as bloom-forming dinoflagellate. Early detection is needed to prevent damage by them in the field. Cells of H. triquetra are more difficult to break than bacteria or animal cells because their cells are covered by amorphous cellulose. Therefore, it is necessary to manufacture algae specific buffer that can easily and quickly lyse H. triquetra.
