\/><\/strong><\/p><p>You should fast for 12 hours before collection of the specimen. Fasting is defined as no consumption of food or beverage other than water for at least 12 hours before testing. Specimens should be collected in the morning since iron values decrease by 30% during the course of the day and there can be significant interference from lipemia. Some tests in this panel may exhibit interference when sample is collected from a person who is consuming a supplement with a high dose of biotin (also termed as vitamin B7 or B8, vitamin H or coenzyme R). Refrain from eating fruits and from taking vitamin C supplements for 24 hours prior to collection. Patient should be cautioned to stop biotin consumption at least 72 hours prior to the collection of a sample. Folate assays of samples from patients receiving therapy with certain pharmaceuticals (eg, methotrexate or leucovorin), are contraindicated because of the cross-reactivity of folate binding protein with these compounds. In patients receiving therapy with high biotin doses (ie, &gt; 5 mg\/day), no sample should be taken until at least eight hours after the last biotin administration. Patient should refrain from eating liver and taking multivitamins or vitamin K at least 24 hours before sample collection.<\/p><p class=\"mt-3 mb-3\">Estimated turnaround for results is 7 business days.
