Mycotoxins, produced by certain mold species, are some of the most prevalent toxins and can come from many sources, including buildings, vehicles, and food. These compounds have been recognized as a growing global health concern due to their acute and chronic adverse health impacts. Mycotoxin exposure can be challenging to diagnose without proper testing due to vague and often varied symptoms.
The MycoTOX Profile®is Mosaic Diagnostics’ most comprehensive assessment of mycotoxins. Our state-of-the-art urine-based assay accurately assesses levels of 11 different mycotoxins, including Aflatoxin M1, Ochratoxin A, Zearalenone, and Trichothecenes. The MycoTOX Profile®has been designed to help clinicians uncover mycotoxin exposure and guide a therapeutic strategy for prevention and to address toxicity.
