Test Details
Methodology
Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)
Result Turnaround Time
3 - 6 days
Turnaround time is defined as the usual number of days from the date of pickup of a specimen for testing to when the result is released to the ordering provider. In some cases, additional time should be allowed for additional confirmatory or additional reflex tests. Testing schedules may vary.
Test Includes
Arsenic (total), urine, with reflex to Arsenic, Toxic species if total arsenic is >=10 ug/L; creatinine, urine; lead, urine; mercury, urine; all ratios; all 24-hour excretions
Use
Monitor exposure to arsenic, lead, and mercury
Special Instructions
Request form must state 24-hour specimen volume, if applicable.
Limitations
This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by Labcorp. It has not been cleared or approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
Custom Additional Information
See individual tests.
Specimen Requirements
Specimen
Urine (random or 24-hour)
Volume
15 mL
Minimum Volume
5.3 mL (Note: This volume does not allow for repeat testing.)
