Veterinary Mycotoxin Panel

$399.00

Animals share the same living spaces we do and because they're lower to the ground and eat off the floor, they can start showing symptoms even before their owners do. It's safe to say if you've been diagnosed with mycotoxin poisoning, your pet may be dealing with the same thing. The Veterinary Mycotoxin Panel uses a urine sample to test for 16 of the most toxic mycotoxins, including 9 produced by Stachybotrys ("black mold"), giving you and your vet a clearer picture of what your pet has been exposed to. The test can be used for any animal that can produce at least 3 mL of urine.

What's Measured?

This test screens for 16 mycotoxins using competitive ELISA, a highly sensitive antibody-based detection method. Results are reported in parts-per-billion (ppb) and indicate whether each toxin was present, not present, or equivocal.

Ochratoxin A — produced by Aspergillus and Penicillium; linked to kidney disease and cancer with prolonged exposure
Aflatoxin Group (B1, G1, M1) — produced by Aspergillus species; carcinogenic, mutagenic, and linked to liver and kidney damage
Macrocyclic Trichothecene Group — produced by Stachybotrys ("black mold") and other species; commonly found in water-damaged buildings and HVAC systems
Gliotoxin-Derivative — produced by Aspergillus, Candida, and other species; has immunosuppressive properties and can damage DNA
Zearalenone — produced by Fusarium species; acts as an estrogen mimic and is linked to reproductive, immune, and blood-related harm

Who should take this test?

If your pet shares a home with someone who has been diagnosed with mycotoxin poisoning, or if you've discovered mold in your home, your pet may have been exposed too.
