Test Utility
This test is a quantitative measurement to determine the level of Lithium activity in human serum or plasma. Ideally, specimens should be drawn approximately 12 hours post dosing (trough concentration).
Urine Drug Screen Profile Includes:
Methodology
The Lithium assay is performed using a spectrophotometric method where Lithium in the sample reacts with a compound that results in a change in absorbance which is directly proportional to the level of Lithium in the sample.
