Panels that include this biomarker

  • Copper, RBC and Plasma 081162

    2 analytes · Plasma · Fasting not stated · Turnaround 4 - 6 days

    Method and collection
    Method
    Inductively coupled plasma/mass spectrometry (ICP/MS)
    Collection
    Both packed cells and plasma are required. Separate before shipping. Failure to separate may cause rejection due to hemolysis of red cells and contamination of the plasma. Transfer RBCs and plasma into separate plastic, acid-washed, or trace metal-free tubes. Specimen must be received at the test facility within five days of collection.

Quest Diagnostics 1 test

Single-analyte tests

  • Copper, RBC 3481

    Blood · Fasting not stated · Turnaround Set up: Sun, Wed, Fri

    Method and collection
    Method
    Inductively Coupled Plasma/Mass Spectrometry (ICP/MS)
    Collection
    Carefully clean skin prior to venipuncture. Avoid worksite collection. Red blood cells trace metal: Use the EDTA trace metal-free (royal blue-top) tube (Becton-Dickinson catalog #367736) for RBC trace metal testing. Packed cells: Centrifuge to separate plasma from RBCs and discard plasma. Transfer RBCs to a plastic transfer tube from a Quest Diagnostics (trace element and metal-free) collection kit or transfer to a transport tube.

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.
