Sample instructions to improve vitamin and trace mineral test results
...be in clear serum, as well.” For best results on Trace Mineral Panels and Metal & Mineral Panels, two separate tubes should be submitted: one tube with EDTA whole blood (not centrifuged) and one tube with clear serum, pulled off the clot and shipped in a clean tube. Trace Mineral Panels can be performed just on serum, but using whole blood as well gives the advantage of being able to measure selenium in a longer term sample because it includes th...
