Trace minerals and heavy metals are quantified in tissue (usually liver) or feed using inductively-coupled plasma/mass spectrometry (ICP/MS), which can detect elements simultaneously in the sample once it has been liquefied using acid.

Specimen: One ore more of the following: 5 g liver; 50 mg (approx. 3 Tru-Cut samples) of liver biopsy not in formalin or saline; or 500 g feed.

This test is used to quantify minerals simultaneously in serum or plasma using ICP/MS.

Specimen: 1 mL whole blood (EDTA preferred), 1.7 mL serum, off the clot. For birds, min 0.60 mL whole blood.

This test is used to quantify minerals simultaneously in whole blood using ICP/MS.

Specimen: 2 mL serum, off the clot; for birds, min 0.60 mL serum.
