7.0 mL - Min Vol:
1.0 mL - Fasting:
No - Spec Collect:
Routine venipuncture
For collection, use whole blood dark blue (royal) top tube (K2 EDTA additive, trace metal-free)
– IMPORTANT: Do not use dark blue (royal) top serum tube (no additive, trace metal-free) - Spec Process:
Do not centrifuge
Do not remove plasma from cells
Transport whole blood in the original collection tube (preferred) - Spec Store Transport:
Room temperature - Spec Stability:
If sample is collected and stored in appropriate container, the trace element values do not change with time - Spec Reject:

Inductively Coupled Plasma/Mass Spectrometry - Reference Range:
- Bismuth, Blood
- 0-5 µg/L
- Interpretive Data:
- Elevated results from noncertified trace element-free collection tubes may be due to contamination. Elevated concentrations of trace elements in blood should be confirmed with a second specimen collected in a tube designed for trace element determinations, such as a royal blue (K2 EDTA) tube.
