title: Analysis of ergot alkaloids - a review.
abstract: Methods for detection and determination of ergot alkaloids in grains, grasses, feeds and grain foods are reviewed. They incorporate simple detection procedures - colorimetry, thin layer chromatography and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay - or instrumental procedures such as liquid chromatography with fluorescence, mass spectrometric (MS) or MS/MS detection, capillary zone electrophoresis, and direct MS/MS.
