Reveal Q+ MAX for Ergot Alkaloids

Reveal^® Q+ MAX for Ergot Alkaloids is intended for the quantitative analysis of rye and wheat for ergot alkaloids. The test detects the six main ergot alkaloids identified of major importance to human and animal health by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA): ergometrine, ergotamine, ergosine, ergocristine, ergocryptine and ergocornine (along with the corresponding –inine epimers). Testing can be completed in eight minutes after extraction and can detect a wide range (50–5000 ppb) of ergot alkaloids. The test’s aqueous extraction eliminates the need for hazardous materials and its innovative technology yields precise and reproducible results. The test utilizes the MAX common extraction, which allows testers to use a single extraction and test using any of Neogen’s Reveal Q+ MAX tests for the main mycotoxins. The test kit is designed for use by quality control personnel and others familiar with commodities possibly contaminated with ergot alkaloids.
