Cadmium

Occupational health programs, environmental exposure assessments, and clinical toxicology settings routinely monitor cadmium due to its nephrotoxic effects that cause progressive kidney dysfunction, as well as pulmonary complications from industrial fume inhalation in workplaces involving welding, metal plating, and battery manufacturing. UTAK’s metals and trace elements panels contain cadmium in whole blood, serum, and urine matrices at normal and high concentration levels, supporting ICP-MS analytical methods used in occupational health surveillance and clinical exposure assessments. Stock and custom QC solutions can incorporate additional toxic and essential elements such as arsenic, lead, mercury, chromium, and other trace metals to address your laboratory’s comprehensive heavy metal and occupational exposure testing requirements.
