The Canine Hair Metals and Minerals Test quantifies the presence of mineral elements, indicators, and toxic metals using ICP-MS/MS technology from a dog’s hair sample. This type of analysis provides relevant information on the organism’s cumulative exposure and mineral balance in the medium and long term.
Hair acts as a storage tissue, making this study a useful tool for evaluating chronic exposures, mineral imbalances, and potential metal accumulations, complementing other analytical studies performed in different biological matrices.
- NUTRITIVE ELEMENTS: Sodium [Na], Potassium [K], Calcium [Ca], Strontium [Sr], Phosphorus [P], Boron [B], Magnesium [Mg], Iron [Fe], Copper [Cu], Zinc [Zn], Sulfur [S], Selenium [Se], Cobalt [Co], Manganese [Mn], Molybdenum [Mo], Vanadium [V], Chromium [Cr], Germanium [Ge], Iodine [I], Silicon [Si]
- INDICATOR ELEMENTS: Lithium [Li], Beryllium [Be], Aluminum [Al], Nickel [Ni], Silver [Ag], Tin [Sn], Barium [Ba], Tungsten [W], Platinum [Pt], Gold [Au].
- TOXIC ELEMENTS: Arsenic [As], Cadmium [Cd], Mercury [Hg], Uranium [U], Lead [Pb]
- Wash the dog 1-2 days before taking the sample and rinse its hair with plenty of water (NO CONDITIONER).
- Avoid sea water for a minimum of 1 week before taking the sample.
- Air dry the hair (AVOID USING A HAIR DRYER) and make sure the hair is completely dry.
- Take the sample between 4 to 20 hours after washing.
