CUNAX SPE Cleanup Enables Sensitive LC-MS/MS Detection of Ciguatoxins in Green-Lipped Mussels During Accumulation and Depuration Studies
This study demonstrates how UCT’s aminopropyl SPE cartridges provided reliable sample cleanup for sensitive LC-MS/MS detection of ciguatoxins (CTXs) and related metabolites in shellfish tissues. Ciguatera poisoning (CP) is the world’s most common non-bacterial illness, caused by CTXs mainly produced by benthic dinoflagellates. These neurotoxins are usually transferred through herbivorous fish but can also accumulate…
