Abstract:
Ciguatera Fish Poisoning is the world‘s largest food poisoning. The US FDA recommends an acceptable dose of 0.01 µg CTX1B equivalent/kg. The FDA level of sensitivity detection is possible by using LC/MS/MS equipment of one manufacturer, and a method has been reported to detect [M+Na]+ > [M+Na]+. In this study, we found a highly sensitive method for the detection of ciguatoxins, [M+Na]+ >[M+Na]+ or [M+Li]+ > [M+Li]+, by adding very small amounts of alkali metals such as Na+ or Li+ to the mobile phase. This method suggests that CTXs FDA level detection and high separation chromatography may be able to achieve for LC-MS from any manufacturer.
