Ciguatoxins (CTXs) are marine neurotoxins produced by microalgae of the genera Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa. CTXs may reach humans through food webs and cause ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP). An immunosensor for the detection of Pacific CTXs in fish was developed using multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-modified carbon electrodes and a smartphone-controlled potentiostat. The biosensor attained a limit of detection (LOD) and a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 6 and 27 pg/mL of CTX1B, respectively, which were 0.001 and 0.005 mu g/kg in fish flesh. In the analysis of fish samples from Japan and Fiji, excellent correlations were found with sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), a cell-based assay (CBA) and liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Stability of at least 3 months at-20 degrees C was predicted. In just over 2 h, the biosensor provides reliable, accurate and precise Pacific CTX contents in fish extracts, being suitable for monitoring and research programs.
