Cyclopiazonic Acid Test Reagents

Cyclopiazonic Acid Test Reagents

Consumption of CPA-contaminated foods can pose health risks and it is therefore essential to monitor food products for the presence of this mycotoxin. Creative Diagnostics' new Cyclopiazonic Acid test reagents are highly sensitive and specific and can be used with a variety of analytical methods including ELISA and LFIA. These reagents, such as Cyclopiazonic Acid Antibodies & Antigens, Cyclopiazonic Acid ELISA Kits, and Cyclopiazonic Acid Screen Tests, are also easy to use and require minimal sample preparation.

Cyclopiazonic acid appears to be toxic only at high concentrations. The symptoms associated to CPA consumption also include anorexia, dehydration, weight loss, immobility and, in the case of near death, convulsions. Few cases of mycotoxicosis with cyclopiazonic acid have been reported because the poisoning is benign, the amount of toxicity is small, and the effects may be masked by concurrent aflatoxin poisoning (some toxicity data may have been derived from the use of aflatoxin-contaminated CPA). To date, there are no national regulations on CPA levels in food products.
