Fast and Accurate Analysis of Seafood for Marine Toxins

The analysis of seafood is important for several reasons. Phytoplankton and algae sometimes produce potent neurotoxins which can accumulate in fish and shellfish. Consuming contaminated fish or shellfish may be fatal and therefore, paralytic shellfish toxin testing is a requirement in most countries. Agilent LC/MS toxin testing methods will help you meet your seafood testing challenges with greater speed, sensitivity, and accuracy than ever before, while improving your efficiency.

Testimonial: Food Natural Toxin and Marine Bio-Toxin Research

Dr. Arjen Gerssen, a senior research scientist at RIKILT Wageningen University and Research Center in the Netherlands, describes his work on marine biotoxin analysis. Dr. Gerssen is looking to develop broad scope analysis of different classes of marine biotoxins in a single method. Watch how Dr. Gerssen is using Agilent’s 2D-LC and 6545 LC/Q-TOF system to develop a new approach for natural toxin surveillance in seafood.  

 


Determination of Paralytic Shellfish Toxins and Tetrodotoxin in Shellfish

The European Union (EU) reference method is based on precolumn oxidation with liquid chromatography and fluorescence detection. However, the method is complex, so an alternative approach using tandem mass spectrometric detection is desirable. This Application Note describes a method for analyzing these compounds that is more than adequate in sensitivity.
