Micronutrient Deficiency Screen in UAE | 850 AED | DHA Licensed Panel

Q: What conditions can a micronutrient screen detect?

This panel detects subclinical deficiencies of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements with 99.9% diagnostic sensitivity. It identifies early-stage nutrient insufficiencies linked to fatigue, immune dysfunction, anaemia, and bone health issues.

Executive Summary & Core Metrics

This comprehensive multiplex panel quantifies essential vitamins, minerals, and trace elements using HPLC, ICP-MS, Arsenazo III, and Xylidyl blue methodologies. Achieves 99.9% diagnostic sensitivity for detecting subclinical deficiencies before symptom onset, guiding personalised nutritional interventions and therapy monitoring. DHA-licensed clinical interpretation is provided upon report delivery.

Test Overview & Methodology

A serum and whole blood panel assessing micronutrient status through high-precision instrumentation. HPLC separates and quantifies individual vitamins, ICP-MS detects trace elements at parts-per-billion sensitivity, and colorimetric methods (Arsenazo III, Xylidyl blue) measure minerals. This integrative approach uncovers latent insufficiencies linked to fatigue, immune dysfunction, anaemia, and bone health deterioration.

Feature	Our ISO-Certified Panel	Closest Alternative
Analytical Precision	ICP-MS & HPLC; 99.9% sensitivity	AAS & Immunoassay; limited multi-element throughput
Turnaround Time	Sample Friday by 9 am → Report Tuesday	Often 7–10 working days
Sample Stability	Cold-chain protected; light-protected transport	Standard transport; risk of pre-analytical error

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols

“As a DHA-licensed general practitioner with extensive experience in preventive medicine, I advise that this micronutrient panel provides valuable data when integrated with a thorough dietary history and clinical examination. Results must be interpreted in context; a normal value does not guarantee functional sufficiency. Never adjust supplementation regimens without professional medical guidance.”

A strict 8–10 hour fast is required; non-fasting samples yield invalid results.

This panel is not a substitute for acute medical evaluation; consult a physician if symptoms worsen.

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance

1. What conditions can a micronutrient screen detect, and how accurate is it?

This comprehensive panel detects subclinical deficiencies of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements with 99.9% diagnostic sensitivity using ICP-MS and HPLC. It identifies early-stage nutrient insufficiencies linked to fatigue, immune dysfunction, anaemia, and bone health issues before clinical syndromes appear. Combined with clinical correlation, it supports tailored nutritional therapies.

2. How should I prepare for the blood draw to ensure accurate results?

You must fast overnight (8–10 hours) and discontinue all vitamin, mineral, herbal supplements, and seafood for one week prior to collection. Additionally, inform our team if you have had any contrast imaging (Gadolinium, Iodine, Barium) within the last 4 days, as it can interfere with test accuracy. Our phlebotomist will confirm readiness before proceeding.
