Validated Method for the Analysis of Lipophilic Marine Biotoxins in Bivalves by Liquid Chromatography-High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry
Description
A harmful algal bloom is a serious environmental problem that results when the population of microscopic algae in a water system rapidly increases. The algae have the ability to produce marine biotoxins (MBTXs), which are dangerous to humans and other aquatic life. These biotoxins can accumulate in filter-feeding bivalve mollusks and, in turn, pose significant food safety risks to humans who ingest the shellfish, including gastrointestinal illnesses or neurological disorders. We describe a UHPLC with HRMS/MS method that delivers excellent results in the quantitative analysis of MBTXs.| Market: | Environmental |
