The _Microtox Model 500_ is a laboratory-based photometer that measures acute toxicity. This analyser is a temperature-controlled, self- calibrating biosensor measuring system that uses the bioluminescence of Allivibrio fischeri to determine the toxicity of contaminated water, or elutriates of contaminated soils and sediments.“Modern Water Microtox M500 Factsheet”, Modern Water. N.D. Retrieved on 28 May 2014.
Microtox tests for sediment and soil differ in the way the matrix is prepared for contact with Allivibrio fischeri. To obtain a representative soil or sediment sample, it is necessary to conduct an elutriate test. Sediment elutriates can be prepared through extraction with either distilled water, saline water, or an organic solvent such as methylene chloride, or hexane. To run an elutriate test a soil sample is mixed with an extractant for a period of time, then allowed to settle and a sample is taken from the extract.
