Mercury

Existing in elemental, inorganic, and organic forms that each require different specimen types and interpretive approaches, mercury is a toxic heavy metal monitored in occupational exposure settings for workers in chloralkali plants, lamp manufacturing, dental settings, and mining industries, as well as environmental and dietary exposure assessment from fish consumption and clinical toxicology evaluations for suspected mercury poisoning. UTAK’s comprehensive metals panels contain mercury in whole blood and urine matrices at multiple concentration levels, supporting ICP-MS and cold vapor atomic absorption methods used in occupational health surveillance and clinical toxicology programs. Stock and custom QC solutions can incorporate related toxic and essential trace elements such as lead, arsenic, cadmium, selenium, manganese, and other metals to address your laboratory’s comprehensive heavy metal and environmental exposure testing requirements.
