Freeze-dried biological material prepared from an equivalent 0.5 g (wet weight) liver + viscera tissue of a moray eel (Gymnothorax javanicus) naturally contaminated with ciguatoxins (CTXs) [1,2].
BM-CTX-Gjav will usefully assist analysts in assessing analytical methods classically used to monitor known CTX analogs in fish [3] (e.g. CBA-N2a, RBA, LC-MS/MS)
