Quest Diagnostics catalog pageMethod and collection
- Method
- Inductively Coupled Plasma/Mass Spectrometry (ICP/MS)
- Preparation
- Gadolinium is known to interfere with most metal tests. If gadolinium-containing contrast media has been administered a specimen should not be collected for 96 hours.
- Collection
- 1. Two mg of liver tissue is required. This is typically a piece of tissue from a 22-gauge needle biopsy at least 2 cm long. If an 18-gauge needle is used, the tissue must be at least 1 cm in length. 2. Any specimen vial other than a Mayo metal-free vial used should be plastic, leached with 10% nitric acid for 2 days, rinsed with redistilled water, and dried in clean air. Additional Information: Paraffin blocks will be returned 3 days after analysis is complete.

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.
