Test Overview & Methodology

In the UAE, this test is essential for diagnosing acute or chronic arsenic poisoning, monitoring occupational or environmental exposure, and proactive health assessment.
| Feature | Our Test (Arsenic Blood, ICP‑MS) | Alternative (Atomic Absorption – AAS) |

| Precision | Ultra‑low detection (0.1 µg/L), CV <5% | Higher LOD (~1 µg/L), more interference |
| Methodology | ICP‑MS (LC‑MS/MS compatibility) | AAS (Flame or graphite furnace) |
| Turnaround Time | Next‑day report | 2–3 days typical |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a General Practitioner licensed by the DHA (No. 36234132), I strongly recommend that an isolated blood arsenic level be interpreted alongside clinical history, dietary habits, and occupational exposures. Correlate with urine arsenic speciation for definitive diagnosis. If you experience neurological or gastrointestinal symptoms, seek urgent medical attention regardless of test results.”
— Dr. Ajay Singh, General Practitioner, DHA 36234132

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. Why is this blood test performed instead of urine?
Blood arsenic reflects recent exposure (within 48 hours) and is the preferred initial test in acute poisoning, as it captures the un‑metabolized fraction before renal clearance.
2. How should I prepare for the test?
Avoid seafood, herbal supplements, and any arsenic‑containing products for 3 days prior. No fasting is required. Stay hydrated and inform your phlebotomist of any medications or supplements.
