Detection of paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) toxins using a colorimetric immunosensing tool for food safety control

Talanta Open
From 1985 to 2018, 35 % of shellfish poisoning cases worldwide were due to paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP). The main representative toxin congener of the PSP toxin family is saxitoxin (STX), a highly toxic neurotoxin capable of blocking nerve impulse
