Enumeration is by the Utermohl method using high-power, inverted microscopes and well-trained personnel. Potentially toxic phytoplankton identified to genera or species level. and enumeration of marine phytoplankton. Cefas have also developed UKAS 17025 accredited and detailed SOPs for the delivery of a comprehensive service from sample receipt to timely reporting of analytical results to the customer. The plankton laboratory at Cefas Lowestoft has been UKAS accredited for phytoplankton analysis since 2007. All laboratory procedures are conducted in compliance with the UKNRL SOP for the identification. The concentration of algae which trigger additional sampling are: Alexandrium sp (PSP): Presence of cells in sample; Dinophysiaceae / P. lima (DSP): 100 cells/litre; Pseudonitzschia sp (ASP): 150,000 cells/litre. Prorocentrum cordatum/minimum became part of the programme from 2010 onwards. Post 2010 Karenia was not recorded as it is a non-reportable taxa. MEDIN 3.1.1
