Balancing body chemistry through hair tissue mineral analysis.

As one of the most respected and experienced leaders in the hair tissue mineral analysis field, Analytical Research Labs, Inc. (ARL) has been setting the professional standards that have been emulated for decades by national and international hair testing and interpretation laboratories. ARL, which pioneered the field of hair tissue mineral analysis interpretation, has earned the respect and endorsement of health care professionals throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe and Asia.

Analytical Research Laboratories

Authority on nutrition, our laboratory of choice.

We proudly offer Analytical Research Laboratories (ARL) testing. ARL is one of the world’s most advanced, state of the art analytical laboratories providing clinically precise quantitative and qualitative information.

Based in Phoenix, Arizona, ARL was established by Dr. Paul C. Eck in 1974. Dr. Eck was known as an authority concerning the science of balancing body chemistry with the use of a hair tissue mineral analysis. ARL pioneered the field of hair tissue mineral analysis interpretation, and has earned the respect and endorsement of health care professionals worldwide.

Why Test With ARL?

• Shows real measurements in parts per million
• Easy to read graphic report - clear & quantitative
• Metabolic type identified
• Complete individualized test interpretation
• Progress tests and comparison analysis
• Supplement recommendations and diet plans

State of the Art Laboratory

ARL uses only the most advanced and sophisticated instrumentation available today, the Perkin Elmer ICP-MS nexION 2000B Mass Spectrometer to assess mineral levels in parts per million or parts per billion.

CLIA Certified

Accutrace Laboratories Inc.(a wholly owned subsidiary of ARL) is CLIA certified. This means that the laboratory has met or exceeded the requirements of an inspection conducted by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.

Most Reliable Clinical Results

ARL is one of only two laboratories that do not wash the hair at the laboratory. Washing hair samples at the laboratory has been shown to wash out water-soluble elements and create much less accurate results. ARL has rigorous quality control procedures. These include known controls which are tested at the beginning, middle and end of every batch of hair samples to insure the accuracy of the results. The lab automatically retests any reading that is out of a normally expected range, provided sufficient hair is available for a second sample.

Advanced Interpretive Reports

ARL advanced interpretive reports are the best of their kind. The lab offers the only complete individualized test interpretation by the method developed by Dr. Paul Eck. Under Dr. Paul Eck’s direction, ARL was the first laboratory to integrate the factors of stress, oxidation types, mineral relationships, homeostatic states and natural healing principles into the science of hair tissue mineral analysis interpretation.

This program probably saved my life. I believe in what they're doing and I find them totally honest and ethical. As a practitioner, I continue to use their services over 30 years.

Their program saved my life. Excellent!

they do not know what they are doing! beware. they contradict themselves and are poorly run and unethical. their knowledge and accuracy are bad. also, they are very money hungry, charging the consumer 4 times as much or more then the cost.

Analytical Research Labs

Why does my lab report from analytical research labs vary so much from other hair analysis reports.

Mineral levels and ratios as determined by Analytical Research Labs for each individual are measured against an ‘ideal’ standard of health, rather than an ‘average’ standard as used by other laboratories. This renders our results more sensitive and meaningful to those people who aspire to optimum levels of health.

We work with precise mineral levels and ratios rather than with the broad ranges employed by the majority of professionals engaged in hair analysis. As a result, we identify even slight deviations from ‘ideal’ values responsible for some disorders which would escape detection by other labs.

Our tests recognize biochemical individuality through determination of three basic oxidation types, thus providing a sound basis for an accurate and specific selection of nutrients based on the individual’s metabolism. Detrimental health effects arising from mismatching of nutrients with individual metabolism are therefore avoided.

Accutrace Laboratories, Inc. (CLIA #03D0641886) is a CLIA Certified Laboratory. What Does This Mean?

What is clia, what kind of instrumentation does accutrace laboratories use, what does icp-ms stand for, how does accutrace laboratories report test results.

We report our results in Mg% (milligrams percent) or milligrams per 100 grams of hair. This means that 100 grams of hair would contain the reported number of milligrams of the minerals listed. Some possible equivalent ways these units might be referred to are milligrams percent and milligram per deciliter.

Another method of reporting test results(sometimes used by other laboratories) is ppm(parts per million). To convert ppm to Mg% one would divide the results reported in ppm by 10. For example, 500 ppm/10 equals 50 Mg%. To convert our results to parts per million; simply multiply our result by 10.

What is the Minimum Amount of Hair to Perform the Multi-Element Mineral Assay? We currently require a minimum of 125 mgs of hair to complete the entire mineral assay.

Are There Any Special Requirements For Submitting a Hair Sample?

The accuracy and reliability of the test results and interpretation is based upon the laboratory receiving a properly collected hair sample that is clean and free from external contaminants. The ideal hair sample should be collected prior to subjecting the hair to any treatments such as bleaching, permanents, or dyes. This also includes the application of hair sprays, hair creams, gels and oils. Additionally, the hair should be washed within 24 hours of sampling and must be dry for at least 4 hours after shampooing.

There are several cautions and concerns regarding hair products. Most shampoos, rinses and conditioners do not contain metals and will not effect the accuracy of the analysis. However, medicated shampoos of concern are Selsun Blue(selenium) and Head and Shoulders(zinc). Grecian Formula contains lead and iron.

The hair sample should be cut as close to the scalp as possible and should be a maximum of 1.5 inches in length. The distal end of the hair longer than 1.5 inches should be discarded.

The recommended location for collection would be the nape of the neck.

It is very important to place the hair sample in the sampling envelope provided before sending to the laboratory. Do not place hair samples in plastic baggies or aluminum foil. Do not tape or staple the hair sample to the scale or sampling envelope.

Do not mix different types of hair such as head hair with pubic hair or beard hair in the same sampling envelope. We strongly recommend using head hair only due to it’s consistent rate of growth. Pubic and other body hair should only be used if sufficient head hair is not available.
