Collect
Royal Blue (No Additive).
Additional Requirements
Collect: Dark Blue / Red Strip
Auto Lab Accepts:
Unacceptable Conditions
Plasma. Specimens that are not separated from clot, within 2 hours. Separator tubes or Royal Blue (EDTA). Specimens transported in tubes other than specified. Hemolyzed specimens.
Specimen Preparation
Separate from cells ASAP or within 2 hours of collection. Transfer 2 mL serum to an ARUP Trace Element-Free Transport Tube (ARUP supply #43116) available online through eSupply using ARUP Connect™ or contact ARUP Client Services at (800) 522-2787. (Min: 0.5 mL)
Ordering Recommendations
May be useful as a reasonable indicator of recent, active exposure and provides a modest indicator for distinguishing exposed from nonexposed individuals. Not recommended for the assessment of manganese body stores. Manganese, Whole Blood (0099272) is recommended for monitoring potential accumulation with TPN.
Elevated results may be due to skin or collection-related contamination, including the use of a noncertified metal-free collection/transport tube. If contamination concerns exist due to elevated levels of serum manganese, confirmation with a second specimen collected in a certified metal-free tube is recommended.
Less than 5 percent of manganese present in circulation resides in the serum.
This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by ARUP Laboratories. It has not been cleared or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. This test was performed in a CLIA certified laboratory and is intended for clinical purposes.
