Development of reference materials for paralytic shellfish poisons

Exploitable results

The report describes the preparation of two lyophilized mussel reference materials and the certification of the mass fractions of saxitoxin and dc-saxitoxin in these materials. Saxitoxin and dc-saxitoxin belong to the group of the Paralytic Shellfish Poisons (PSP). In addition information is given about the preparation of a saxitoxin enrichment solution (CRM 663) to be used with the blank reference material (CRM 543) so as to obtain a reference material positive for saxitoxin. The certification study for CRM 542 and CRM 543 was carried out by 13 laboratories using a variety of HPLC methods involving precolumn or postcolumn derivatization
