The invention discloses a rapid 
microcystin extracting and detecting method comprising the following steps: firstly, conducting pretreatment on 
algae samples, removing impurities on 
microcystis flosaquae samples, cleaning the 
microcystis flosaquae repeatedly by 
distilled water, and filtering the 
microcystis flosaquae; secondly, conducting homogenate process and 
heavy weight measurement, adding 
algae slurry concentrated in the step one into the 
distilled water, stirring the 
slurry uniformly by a 
homogenizer, taking the 
algae slurry additionally for measuring the 
dry weight; thirdly, extracting 
toxin by 
methanol one-
step method, calculating the measuring result of 
dry weight of samples in the step two, taking the algae slurry with known 
dry weight and volume, stirring, vibrating and mixing the algae slurry, then standing and extracting the algae slurry in a refrigerator; fourthly, conducting centrifugal purification, conducting 
centrifuge on extracted liquid processed in the step three, obtaining supernate, and obtaining clarified extraction liquid; fifthly, using a filter for filtering the supernate obtained from the step four; sixthly, conducting HPLC (High-performance liquid 
chromatography) detection, adopting optimized chromatograph condition for analyzing the 
toxin rapidly. The method has the advantages of high reliability, simple needed instrument, convenience in operation, high detection efficiency and the like, and is suitable for large-batch 
toxin extraction and analysis in a laboratory.
