Ranges
Each lab publishes a reference range for the population groups it tests, usually the middle 95% of results. These intervals describe that population, not an optimal or healthy target. How ranges differ
Quest Diagnostics, Thallium, 24-Hour Urine 37124
| Population | Interval |
|---|---|
| Reference range | <3 mcg/L |
| Toxic level | >200 mcg/L |
Tests
Check the catalog code, specimen, method and preparation for every test that measures Thallium, Urine. Select up to five tests to compare them side by side.

Panels that include this biomarker
Comprehensive Toxic Metal Panel, 24-Hour Urine 37081
6 analytes · Urine · Fasting not stated
Quest Diagnostics catalog pageMethod and collection
- Method
- Inductively Coupled Plasma/Mass Spectrometry (ICP/MS)
- Preparation
- Avoid seafood consumption for 48 hours prior to collection
- Collection
- Avoid worksite collection. Collect urine in an acid-washed or metal-free plastic container. 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.

Labcorp catalog pageMethod and collection
- Method
- Inductively-coupled plasma/mass spectrometry (ICP/MS)
- Collection
- Optional protocol: Instruct the patient to void at 8 AM and discard the specimen. Then collect all urine including the final specimen voided at the end of the 24-hour collection period (ie, 8 AM the next morning). Avoid contact with metal during collection. Screw the lid on securely.
- Reference notes
- • Environmental exposure: <0.0−1.5 μg/L • Thallium:creatinine ratio: 0.0−0.9 μg/g creatinine1

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.
