As we enter 2026, it’s the perfect time to prioritize health – for ourselves and our patients. Chronic exposure to toxic metals can contribute to subtle, nonspecific symptoms and often goes undetected without targeted testing.
The DiagnosTechs Toxic Metals and Elements Panels provide objective data to identify specific metal burdens, allowing for personalized, evidence-based detoxification and treatment strategies.
This year, elevate your protocols with precise, gold-standard laboratory testing.

What Health Concerns Are Associated with Exposure to Toxic Metals?
Did you know that excessive exposure to antimony, arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury, platinum, tin, or tungsten is associated with hypertension?
Discover more about the toxic metals linked to several health concerns in our latest article and consider ordering toxic metals testing for all patients with these health concerns, as well as those patients who wish to optimize their long-term health.
When test results reveal the toxic metals that are clinical concerns, an individualized & clinically effective treatment protocol to reduce exposure and support detoxification of the specific metals can be prescribed.

Top Test Panel Spotlight
The DiagnosTechs Toxic Metals and Elements (TME) Panels utilize precise, noninvasive saliva and urine analyses to quantify 36 distinct elements.
DiagnosTechs offers six different TME Test Panels:
- Salivary Metals and Elements (SMETALS)
- Urinary Metals and Elements (UMETALS)
- Salivary and Urinary Metals and Elements Combo Panel (CMETALS)
- Timed Salivary Metals and Elements (TSMETALS)
- Timed Urinary Metals and Elements (TUMETALS)
- Timed Salivary and Urinary Metals and Elements Combo (TCMETALS)
The regular TME Panels primarily assess baseline current exposure to metals and elements rather than stored or past exposure. The Timed TME Panels are designed to be used in conjunction with a chelating or provoking agent, which mobilizes the stored pool of metals to assess past exposure and stored levels of metals and elements when compared to baseline levels.
DiagnosTechs is the only laboratory in the US to offer a saliva test that assesses exposure to toxic metals.
