Sequestering sea squirts : Liquid chromatography with parallel inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry/electrospray mass spectrometry was used to discover and identify novel lipophilic metal complexes in the solvent extract of the ascidian Eudistoma gilboviride. Using these tools it is now possible to examine whether such complexes play an integral part in an organism's physiology.
