    This test measures over 30 micronutrients including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, metabolites, and antioxidants using a dried blood spot sample. The test uses mass spectrometry, the gold standard technique, to directly measure whole blood levels of these nutrients. Key advantages of the test are the ease of home sample collection via fingerprick, accuracy of results, and affordability due to lack of phlebotomy costs and ability to complement telehealth practices.

    Technology and Clinical Utility

    The Vibrant Total Micronutrient (DBS) is a convenient and efficient test for measuring whole blood levels of a wide variety
    of micronutrients. By using whole blood collection, we are able to provide an accurate pooled measurement of levels of the
    micronutrients in extra- and intracellular spaces.

    The test is performed using the gold standard of mass spectrometry, after extracting the specimen from the dried blood
    card using a patented and proprietary elution buffer coupled with a dilution buffer, for enhanced specimen volume
    collection and accuracy.

    Advantages of the Total Micronutrient (DBS) include:

    Ease of sample collection - can be done at home by patients

    Accuracy of results - mass spectrometry is the gold standard of direct micronutrient measurement

    Affordability - with no phlebotomy costs associated, and longer sample stability times, additional collection and handling
    costs are eliminated

    Complements telehealth practices - no need for patients to come to you or leave their home for a blood draw. Collection
    kits can be shipped directly to patients.
