Confirmed Elements of Interest

Arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, copper, lead and nickel — consistent with standard biomonitoring panels for occupational and environmental heavy metal exposure.

Sample Types

Blood, urine, faeces, hair, tissue, and filter (air) samples.

Applications

Metals biomonitoring

Arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, copper, lead, nickel and other elements of occupational and clinical concern, digested for ICP-OES/ICP-MS analysis.

Occupational hygiene

Air filter digestion for workplace exposure monitoring, particularly relevant to South African mining (silica, metals, dust) under the Mine Health and Safety Act.

Fecal fat quantitation

NMR-based fat analysis (ORACLE) applied to clinical fat malabsorption diagnostics such as pancreatic insufficiency and coeliac disease.

A cross-sell angle: fecal fat testing via NMR is the standard method for investigating fat malabsorption conditions — the same underlying instrument technology used in ORACLE for food fat analysis, reaching a clinical or diagnostic laboratory rather than a food laboratory.
