WORK AREA

⦁ Development of sufficiently sensitive chemical instrumental methods, design and application of the method HPLC-DAD-UV for domoic acid and its derivatives and of the method HPLC-FLD for the group of marine biotoxins whose main representative is saxitoxin.

⦁ Optimization and validation of the method for the determination of the lipophilic marine biotoxins gymnodimine and spirolide (cyclic imines) using the method of liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry, LC-MS /MS.

⦁ The first study of gymnodimine and spirolide using instrumental methods in Croatia was presented at the 16th International Conference on Harmful Algae 2014 in Wellington, New Zealand.

⦁ Design of a LC-MS /MS method for determination of tetrodotoxin in fish, especially in invasive species in the Adriatic Sea.

⦁ Optimization and validation of HPLC method for the determination of pigments (lutein) in fish.

⦁ Development of the method HPLC-FLD for the determination of bisphenol A in sediments and marine organisms.

⦁ Development of HPLC methods for the determination of anthelmintics and essential oils used as therapeutics against infections with larvae of the sea urchin Anisakis sp. in humans.

⦁ Accreditation of instrumental chemical methods for the determination of marine biotoxins according to the requirements of the HRN EN ISO /IEC 17025 standard
