Determination of 10 elements from hair or nails by energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF).
10 elements
3–5 working days
This method determines the concentration of 10 elements in hair or nail samples using EDXRF, providing information on long-term mineral status and heavy metal exposure.
Clinical indications include:
Calcium, copper, iron, potassium, zinc, sulfur, selenium, strontium, lead, and silicon.
Elements are determined by energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF), a non-destructive analytical technique that provides simultaneous multi-element quantification from solid biological matrices without sample digestion.
From enquiry to results in a few simple steps — no clinic visit required.
This test is available to healthcare professionals, wellness brands, clinics, and research institutions worldwide. We currently serve partners in:
Whether you need testing services for your patients, white-label kits for your brand, or method transfer to your own laboratory — get in touch to discuss how we can work together.
Determines the concentration of 10 elements in hair or nail samples using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF). Assesses both essential minerals and potential toxic element exposure.
Hair and nails accumulate elements over weeks to months, providing a longer-term picture of exposure than a single blood test. They're also completely non-invasive to collect.
Collect a small amount of hair (cut close to the scalp) or nail clippings. No special preparation needed.
Results are typically delivered within 3 to 5 working days from the time your sample arrives at our laboratory.
The panel covers essential minerals and potentially toxic elements. The specific analyte list can be discussed with our team based on your clinical or research requirements.
