BS EN 16204:2012EN 16204:2012 (E) 4 Introduction Lipophilic marine biotoxins are the most frequently occurring algal toxins in Europe and are produced by certain marine dinoflagellates. They can accumulate in filter-feeding bivalves reaching highly toxic levels and, after consumption,

21、may cause harm in humans such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. Commission Regulation 15/2011 stipulates LC-MS/MS as the reference methodology and refers to a method validated by the EU-RL Network. The method presented in EN 16204 is proposed as an alternative method to the one validated by EU-RL.

22、BS EN 16204:2012EN 16204:2012 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a multi-reference method for the determination of lipophilic algal toxins (fat-soluble algal toxins produced by some dinoflagellates) in raw shellfish and shellfish products including cooked shellfish, by liquid chromatogra

23、phy coupled to tandem mass spectrometry LC-MS/MS 1, 2, 3. This method has been validated in an inter-laboratory study consisting of three parts via the analysis of both naturally contaminated homogenates of blue mussel and spiked extracts of blue mussel, oyster and clam. For further information on t

24、he validation, see Annex A. Additional studies have investigated further matrices (see 4, 5). The detection limit for toxins of the okadaic acid group, azaspiracids and pectenotoxins was determined to be 6 g/kg shellfish meat and for yessotoxins 10 g/kg shellfish meat. Quantitative determination of

25、okadaic acid (OA), pectenotoxin-2 (PTX-2), azaspiracid-1 (AZA-1) and yessotoxin (YTX) can be carried out directly by means of standard substances available commercially. Assuming an equal response factor, okadaic acid is used for the indirect quantitative determination of the two dinophysistoxins di

26、nophysistoxin-1 (DTX-1) and dinophysistoxin-2 (DTX-2); likewise azaspiracid-1 (AZA-1) is used for the indirect quantitative determination of azaspiracid-2 (AZA-2) and azaspiracid-3 (AZA-3), while YTX is used for homo-yessotoxin, 45-OH-yessotoxin and 45-OH-homo-yessotoxin, and PTX-2 for pectenotoxin-

27、1 (PTX-1). The limit of quantification (LOQ) for toxins of the okadaic acid group, azaspiracids and pectenotoxins was determined to be 20 g/kg shellfish meat and for yessotoxins 35 g/kg shellfish meat. By means of hydrolysis 6, the esters of okadaic acid, DTX-1 and DTX-2 can also be determined quant

28、itatively as the corresponding free acids. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

Separation is performed on a HPLC reverse-phase column provided with a binary gradient and detection is carried out by means of tandem mass spectrometry using triple quadrupole technology. The concentration of lipophilic toxins is determined by means of external calibration. 4 Reagents
