Special Medicinal Instructions: If you are using Mycophenolate Mofetil (CellCept/Myfortic), you must stop taking for 72 hours in order for the urine to be normal for testing. The Urine sample cannot be a BLUE OR GREEN color.
Lab: Mosaic (formerly Great Plains Lab)
Specimen: Urine
Results: Average processing time 1-2 weeks
Note: Result turnaround times are an estimate and are not guaranteed. Our reference lab may need additional time due to weather, holidays, confirmation/repeat testing, or equipment maintenance.
Special Instructions:
Description: Mycotoxins, produced by certain mold species, are some of the most prevalent toxins and can come from many sources including buildings, vehicles, and food. These compounds have been recognized as a growing global health concern due to their acute and chronic adverse health impacts. Mycotoxin exposure can be difficult to diagnose without proper testing due to vague and often varied symptoms.
The MycoTOX Profile is Mosaic Diagnostics’ most comprehensive assessment of mycotoxins. Our state-of-the art urine-based assay accurately assesses levels of 11 different mycotoxins, including Aflatoxin M1, Ochratoxin A, Zearalenone, and Trichothecenes. The MycoTOX Profile has been designed to support clinicians uncover mycotoxin exposure – and guide a therapeutic strategy for prevention and treatment.

Special Instructions:
- Fasting for 12 hours may increase the excretion of mycotoxins from the adipose tissue.
- Avoid Binders such as charcoal or bentonite clay for 72 hours.
- Patients taking Mycophenolate Mofetil (CellCept/Myfortic) will not get an accurate value for the marker Mycophenolic Acid (all other markers will report adequately). If you are taking this drug, please indicate on your order in Special Instructions when placing it.
- Collect the first morning urine in the collection cup provided. Collecting sample prior to eating or drinking is preferred.
- Freeze urine specimen for a minimum of 4 hours before shipping. Keep in freezer until ready to ship. Ship with frozen gel pack (included).
- Send the sample Monday through Friday only.
- Do not collect during menstrual cycle.
- Limit liquid intake starting at 6pm the night prior to collection to avoid sample dilution. Urine must be yellow in color. If urine is clear the sample is too diluted. Discard diluted sample, rinse the collection cup in hot water only (no soap), air dry, then re-collect.
