Will biotin supplementation interfere with Vibrant test results?

Yes, dietary supplements containing biotin may interfere with assays and may skew results to be either falsely high or falsely low. For patients supplementing with the recommended daily value of biotin (30mcg), to avoid impact on test results, wait at least 8 hours after the last biotin supplementation before drawing a sample. For patients on mega-doses of biotin supplements (equal to or greater than 5mg/5,000mcg), to avoid impact on test results, wait at least 72 hours after last biotin supplementation before drawing a sample.
