"Standard materials for shellfish toxin analysis" The necessity for shellfish toxin analysis is becoming increasingly important.

The poisoning of bivalves has become a significant issue for food safety and health crisis management in marine areas around the world, including Japan! Our company offers a variety of standard products!

The types of shellfish toxins are mainly classified into paralytic shellfish toxin, diarrheic shellfish toxin, amnesic shellfish toxin, and neurotoxic shellfish toxin. The toxic contamination of bivalves due to these toxins has become a significant issue for food safety and health crisis management in marine areas around the world, including Japan. Additionally, on March 6, 2015, a notification regarding the handling of shellfish contaminated by paralytic shellfish toxins was issued, and the introduction of instrumental analysis for the diarrheic shellfish toxin group, Okadaic acid, along with its regulatory limits, has further heightened the necessity for shellfish toxin analysis. Our company handles shellfish toxin standard materials from the National Research Council Canada and Laboratorio CIFGA S.A. in Spain, and we would like to inform you about this. Furthermore, since April 2016, the National Metrology Institute of Japan (NMIJ) has started distributing shellfish toxin CRM (Certified Reference Materials).
