Chromium Test (Plasma)
SKU:CR
Chromium is an essential trace mineral in small amounts but can be toxic when levels are too high. Exposure may occur through industrial work, supplements, or contaminated water. The Chromium (Plasma) Test measures chromium in your blood plasma, showing immediate exposure levels. Venous testing provides precise analysis to safeguard health.
Why is the Chromium Plasma Test Important?
Plasma chromium testing helps detect overexposure and supports safe monitoring for those working with or supplementing chromium.
To complement plasma analysis, our Chromium Urine Test can help provide a more complete picture of chromium exposure.
