The Mycotoxin Panel Test from GetTested provides a comprehensive analysis of mold exposure by detecting 16 of the most common mycotoxins emitted by over 300 types of molds. Mycotoxins are toxic compounds that negatively impact various systems in the body and often result from mold exposure in damp environments.
What Does the Mycotoxin Panel Test Measure?
This test identifies a wide range of harmful mycotoxins across several families, including:
- Aflatoxins: Highly toxic and carcinogenic, aflatoxins are produced by molds commonly found in food and water-damaged buildings.
- Trichothecenes: Potent toxins that can impact the immune system and cause various health issues.
- Other Mycotoxins: Detects mycotoxins such as Gliotoxin, Ochratoxin A (OTA), and Zearalenone (ZEA), which can cause oxidative stress and hormonal disruptions.
The Mycotoxin Panel Test measures 16 specific mycotoxins, including:
- Trichothecenes: Stratoxin G, Stratoxin H, Isosatratoxin F, Roridin A, Roridin E, Roridin H, Roridin L-2, Verrucarin J, Verrucarin A.
- Other Mycotoxins: Gliotoxin, Ochratoxin A (OTA), Zearalenone (ZEA).

Advanced Testing Technology
Our Mycotoxin Panel Test uses the established ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) technique, which offers precise detection of mycotoxins. Unlike conventional mass spectrometry methods, ELISA technology detects structurally modified mycotoxins more effectively and provides more accurate results.
Why Choose the Mycotoxin Panel Test?
This test is ideal for individuals who suspect mold exposure or are experiencing symptoms related to mold toxicity, such as fatigue, headaches, respiratory issues, or immune dysfunction. By identifying mycotoxin levels in your body, this test provides valuable information to guide detoxification and treatment strategies.
