ABSTRACT:
A composition comprising okadaic acid for use as a positive control in assays for the detection of ciguatoxins and methods for making such compositions. In a preferred embodiment, the okadaic acid composition further comprises a carrier selected from the group consisting of fish extract, oils, oil/organic solvent mixtures, fatty-acid solutions, and non-ionic detergent solutions. A kit for detecting the presence of ciguatoxin or related polyether marine toxins in fish, comprising positive control supports impregnated with a composition comprising okadaic acid.
