Where can I buy ciguatoxin?

26 April 2013 1 8K Report

I need to obtain monoclonals for it.

Hi Yakov,

Better late than never - you can't buy it. CTX congeners are not commercially available, even for research. This makes toxin profile determination via LC-MS/MS for Gambierdiscus spp. problematic because CTX is desperately needed as a comparative standard in the peak analysis.

Ciao,

Anna Liza
