| Components: Arsenic, lead and Mercury |
| Method(s): Inductively Coupled Plasma/Mass Spectrometry |
| Specimen Required: |
| Collect: 24-hour or random urine collection. Specimen must be collected in a plastic container and should be refrigerated during collection. Studies indicate that refrigeration of urine alone, during and after collection, preserves specimens adequately if tested within 14 days of collection. |
| Transport: 10 mL aliquot from a well-mixed collection at 2-8°C. (Min: 5 mL) Submit specimen in two Trace Element-Free Transport Tube. |
| Remarks: Record total volume and collection time interval on transport tube and on test request form. |
| Stability: Ambient: 1 week; Refrigerated (preferred): 2 weeks; Frozen: 1 year
|
| Unacceptable Conditions: Urine collected within 48 hours after administration of a gadolinium (Gd) containing contrast media (may occur with MRI studies). Acid preserved urine.
