Article Synopsis
- - Saxitoxin (STX) is a powerful neurotoxin produced by toxic dinoflagellates and accumulates in shellfish, requiring monitoring due to its health risks.
- - Monitoring STX in shellfish is challenging because it’s classified as a chemical warfare agent, complicating the import of calibration standards for testing.
- - The study suggests using non-toxic variants of STX (called -STXs) as safe substitutes for calibration standards, which can aid in effective monitoring without violating chemical weapons regulations.
