The toxicity and bioavailability of an element is to a large degree decided by the form in which it is present. For this reason, element speciation analysis is relevant in cases where elevated levels of a certain element are obtained. Arsenic (As), for example, may be present in the non-toxic form arsenobetaine which is dominant in plants and marine species. Arsenite on the contrary, is classified as carcinogenic.
ALS offers the following element speciation analyses of clinical samples:

ALS offers isotope analysis of clinical samples such as blood, urine, serum, plasma, hair or nails. We have experience measuring isotope ratios in clinical samples including:
ALS uses ICP-SFMS complemented by multicollector ICP-MS for high-precision isotope ratio measurements (down to 0.001% relative standard deviation). The precision of isotope ratio analyses by ICP-SFMS is, under optimal conditions, better than 0.05% relative standard deviation. This is not as precise as with MC-ICP-MS, but still sufficient to separate lead from different sources, e.g. in toxicological investigations, by the natural variation in isotope composition.
Tracers are used primarily in biological and medical research. An element can be "marked" by means of a stable, enriched isotope of that element for the purpose of studying the uptake and distribution in an organism
