Than is,  after 24 hours there can be up to 8.4 million times more microcystin molecules present than there is after 1 hour. Putting this ratio into perspective, this is the same as the height of the Empire State Building being compared to  the combined height of 7 <i>E. coli</i>.<Br><Br>

Therefore, in the time period between collection of samples and obtaining results there could potentially  be  a vast increase in the concentration of microcystin present in the water body. This emphasises that HPLC, or even slower alternatives,  are  less than optimal  for toxin detection and that  early detection would provide a huge advantage. <br><br>
