Multianalyte methods used to measure substantial numbers of mycotoxins in feed and food have often included ergot alkaloids [12, 33-35]. A multianalyte LC-MS/MS method without cleanup has been used to measure 87 different mycotoxins including 25 ergot alkaloids with LODs of 0.02-1.2 pg kg . A similar approach has been used to perform a semiquantitative survey that included all 12 of the major C. purpurea ergot alkaloids and also another 12 other ergot alkaloids from different other Claviceps species.
