Requirements:

Customers who were advised to take this test by Morley Robbins and the Magnesium Advocacy Group should notify the lab attendant that the preferred specimen for their Ceruloplasmin, Copper and Iron & TIBC tests is SERUM.  The preferred specimen for the Zinc test is PLASMA.  Please be aware that it is at the lab’s discretion to decide which specimen type is most appropriate.
