Chromium, Serum 5248
Serum · Fasting not stated · Turnaround Set up: Tues, Thurs, Sat
Method and collection
Method
Inductively Coupled Plasma/Mass Spectrometry (ICP/MS)
Collection
Draw one royal blue-top tube of blood and discard. Draw second royal-blue top tube. Allow to clot in an upright position. Centrifuge and pour (do not pipette) the serum into a metal-free tube. Note: Tests performed on a specimen submitted in a non-trace element tube or non acid-washed/non metal-free container may not accurately reflect the patient's level. If a non-trace element tube/container is received, it will be accepted for testing. However, elevated results shall be reported with a message that a re-submission with a trace element tube/container is recommended.

Verify these ranges and sources

We compile this page from named laboratory catalogs, guidelines and studies. Labs calculate reference intervals from the people they test, for one assay method and one population group, so an interval describes that population rather than an optimal target.
