Test Category - Toxicity
SAMPLE TYPE: Blood, Hair, Stool and/or Serum
Used to determine tissue and exposure levels of environmental toxins and heavy metals for improved patient health outcomes.
Specialists in essential and toxic elemental testing
A liver function assessment that encompasses toxin exposure by measuring phase I and phase II liver detoxification via D-glucaric acid and mercapturic acids respectively.
Inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) hair element analysis that screens for deficiency or maldistribution of toxic and essential elements.
Inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) assessment of tissue toxic metal retention and essential element excretion which can be used to monitor detoxification therapy.
Chromatography analysis that looks at urinary porphyrins in those with genetic disorders, poor nutritional status, oxidative stress and high-level exposure to toxic chemicals or toxic metals.
The Stool Toxic Metals Profile is an assessment of oral exposure to toxic metals and elements via inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).
Providing clarity with complex health conditions
Assesses over 70 markers including vitamins,
minerals and antioxidant status to give a comprehensive snapshot of a patient’s overall health.
Screens for eleven different mycotoxins, from 40 species of mould, in one urine sample using the power of advanced mass spectrometry (MS/MS).
Screens for 172 different environmental pollutants using 18 different metabolites with the power of advanced mass spectrometry (MS/MS), which detects lower levels of certain genetic, mitochondrial and toxic chemical markers that conventional mass spectrometry often misses.
Urine analysis of glyphosate exposure. Glyphosate has been correlated with several chronic health conditions including hypertension, diabetes and obesity, providing a new avenue to explore with challenging clients.
Striving to deliver the most accurate Mercury and Heavy Metal test in the world.
The Quicksilver Scientific® CLIA-certified laboratory specialises in advanced mercury speciation testing, using the patented Mercury Tri-Test. This test utilises samples of hair, blood, and urine to assess for the body’s mercury burden and its ability to eliminate it.
Quicksilver Scientific’s Blood Metals Panel screens for a broad range of potentially toxic and nutrient metals to show elevated exposure to toxic metals or imbalances of nutrient metals in whole blood.
