ABSTRACT:
An antibody test suitable for the rapid detection of ciguatoxin and other related low molecular weight polyether marine lipid toxins in fish tissue in the field or laboratory is disclosed. The test utilizes the reaction between antibody coated, mixed latex beads and any lipids in an extract of a sample of fish tissue eluted in a solvent. The presence of toxins is determined within about thirty minutes by ascending chromatography, which separates the mixed beads. The toxin concentration is determined by reference to standard data. A kit suitable for performing the testing procedure in the field is also disclosed. The kit includes a support having a nylon membrane covering, and antibody coated, mixed beads applied on the membrane, a testing container, a supply of solvent and a biopsy tool.
