Interpretive Data

Elevated results may be due to skin or collection-related contamination, including the use of a noncertified metal-free collection/transport tube. If contamination concerns exist due to elevated levels of serum manganese, confirmation with a second specimen collected in a certified metal-free tube is recommended.

Less than 5 percent of manganese present in circulation resides in the serum.
