If total white blood cell (WBC) counts are too low on Vibrant's Micronutrient test, will the specimen be rejected?

Yes, the lab has a critical level for white blood cells (WBC). Vibrant's Micronutrient test cannot be performed when WBC levels are below 2 10^3/µL.

• If the WBC count is above this level, the test will be processed.
• If below this level, micronutrient concentration may be falsely elevated, as the results are expressed as a ratio of total WBC count.
