This quantitative ELISA kit can analyze 54 samples for ergot alkaloids in urine containing 0-100 ppb. Note: A creatinine analysis is important to interpret the data. See our Phytoscreen creatinine kit.
This quantitative ELISA kit can analyze 54 samples for ergot alkaloids in plant tissues containing 0 to 4 ppm. Samples with higher alkaloid concentration can be diluted for analysis.
This first and simple colorimetric kit utilizes the microplate format typical of ELISA to analyze up to 54 samples. It can be analyzed on any microplate reader capable of reading at a wavelength of 490-510 nm.

Phytoscreen Kits for In-House Ergot and Endophyte Testing
Phytoscreen is the Agrinostics line of patented immunochemical test kits, for laboratories that would rather run the assay themselves than send samples out. Kits are manufactured when you order them, carry a shelf life of six months when stored as directed, and are stamped with an expiration date so your technicians know which kits to use first and when to reorder. The endophyte detection kits are supplied with a positive and a negative control to compare your samples against and score accordingly.
The kit for tiller ergot alkaloids is a qualitative ELISA that analyzes 96 tillers for alkaloid presence. Two quantitative ELISA kits measure concentration instead: the kit for plant tissue ergot alkaloids analyzes 54 samples containing 0 to 4 ppm, and samples above that range can be diluted for analysis, while the kit for urine ergot alkaloids analyzes 54 samples containing 0 to 100 ppb. The Phytoscreen ergot alkaloid ELISA kits can be used for qualitative analysis, and with the addition of a standard they can also be used for quantitative analyses.
Creatinine for Interpreting Urine Results
A creatinine analysis is important for interpreting urine ergot alkaloid data. The Phytoscreen kit for urine creatinine is a colorimetric kit that uses the microplate format typical of ELISA to analyze up to 54 samples, and it can be read on any microplate reader capable of reading at a wavelength of 490 to 510 nm.
