title: Fluorometric measurement of yessotoxins in shellfish by high-pressure liquid chromatography.
abstract: A rapid HPLC method with fluorescence detection of yessotoxin (YTX) and its two analogs (45-OHYTX and norYTX) in mussels and scallops is presented. A dienophile reagent, DMEQ-TAD, was used for fluorescence labeling. YTX was measured in the range 1-100 ng. The method confirmed the occurrence of YTX and 45-OHYTX for the first time in mussels from Chile and New Zealand.
