A system for detecting shellfish toxins.A system for detecting shellfish toxins has been developed by scientists at BioResearch bi·o·re·search n. Research in the biological sciences. Ireland. The test is a laboratory cell culture-based system that can be used to determine toxins, okadaic acid Okadaic acid is a toxin that accumulates in bivalves and causes diarrhetic shellfish poisoning. The molecular formula of okadaic acid, which is a derivative of a C38 fatty acid, is C44H68O13. and azaspiracid in shellfish. The test is an alternative to animal testing methods currently in use. The new technique will be fully validated for routine screening use.
