RealTime Lab's Total Mycotoxin Panel: Comprehensive Mycotoxin Testing
RealTime Lab’s Total Mycotoxin Panel detects 16 of the most toxigenic mycotoxins, including 9 macrocyclic trichothecenes linked to Stachybotrys—commonly referred to as “Black Mold.” This advanced test employs competitive ELISA, a highly sensitive detection method that utilizes antibodies tailored to target mycotoxins.
Accurate and Easy-to-Understand Mycotoxin Test Results
The Total Mycotoxin Panel delivers results in a clear, numeric format, measuring toxin levels in parts-per-billion (ppb) as standardized by the FDA, WHO, CDC, and food industry for clinical use.
Key Features of Test Results:
- Detection Status: Indicates whether toxins are present, not present, or equivocal.
- Detection Ranges: Shows the precise measurement ranges for each mycotoxin.
This user-friendly reporting ensures both patients and healthcare providers can interpret results with ease.
What Are Mycotoxins?
Mycotoxins are harmful toxic metabolites produced by molds. Research published in peer-reviewed scientific journals highlights their significant impact on human health.
Why Mycotoxin Testing Matters:
RealTime Lab’s expert team of doctors and scientists has identified 16 clinically significant mycotoxins and their secondary metabolites for testing. By leveraging their semi-quantitative competitive ELISA platform, the lab ensures highly accurate detection of these dangerous compounds.
Health Risks Associated with Mycotoxins
Exposure to mycotoxins is linked to a wide array of health conditions, ranging from acute to chronic.
Common Health Effects of Mycotoxin Exposure:
- Kidney Toxicity
- Immune Suppression
- Neurotoxicity
- Depression
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
- Cancer
