Manganese

Two primary contexts require laboratory monitoring of manganese: occupational health surveillance for workers exposed to manganese-containing fumes and dusts in welding, mining, battery manufacturing, steel production, and ferroalloy smelting industries, and clinical monitoring of patients receiving long-term total parenteral nutrition (TPN) where parenteral administration bypasses normal gastrointestinal homeostatic mechanisms. UTAK’s metals and trace elements panels contain manganese in whole blood, serum, and urine matrices at normal and high concentration levels, supporting ICP-MS and ICP-AES methods for assay performance monitoring. Stock and custom QC solutions can incorporate related toxic and essential trace elements such as lead, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, zinc, selenium, and other metals to address your laboratory’s comprehensive occupational exposure and trace element testing requirements.
