Abstract: <p>The detection of ciguatoxins (CTXs) in biological samples is challenging due to their low concentrations, the presence of various congeners, and the absence of standardized methods. This study uses high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) with P-CTX-3B as a reference standard. The protonated molecules ([M+H]+) were most prevalent, especially when acetonitrile/water was utilized,… more Full Text: Advancements and Challenges in Ciguatoxin Detection: Developing a HighResolution Mass Spectrometric Method for the Identification of P-CTX-3B A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree …
