An immunomagnetic capture protocol for use with LC-MS was developed for the quantitation of saxitoxin (STX) in human urine.
MATERIALS & METHODS: This method uses monoclonal antibodies coupled to magnetic beads. STX was certified reference material grade from National Research Council, Canada. Analysis was carried out using LC-MS.
With an extraction efficiency of 80%, accuracy and precision of 93.0-100.2% and 5.3-12.6%, respectively, and a dynamic range of 1.00-100 ng/ml, the method is well suited to quantify STX exposures based on previously reported cases.
Compared with our previously published protocols, this method has improved selectivity, a fivefold increase in sensitivity and uses only a third of the sample volume. This method can diagnose future toxin exposures and may complement the shellfish monitoring programs worldwide.
开发一种用于液相色谱 - 质谱联用(LC-MS)的免疫磁捕获方法,用于定量检测人尿液中的石房蛤毒素(STX)。
该方法使用与磁珠偶联的单克隆抗体。STX为加拿大国家研究委员会认证的参考物质级。采用LC-MS进行分析。
该方法提取效率为80%,准确度为93.0 - 100.2%,精密度为5.3 - 12.6%,动态范围为1.00 - 100 ng/ml,非常适合根据先前报道的病例定量检测STX暴露情况。
与我们之前发表的方法相比,该方法选择性更高,灵敏度提高了五倍,且仅使用三分之一的样品体积。该方法可诊断未来的毒素暴露情况,并可能补充全球范围内的贝类监测计划。
