•Video Library – A collection of video presentations designed to help clinicians learn more about SpectraCell diagnostic tests.  It includes case studies and implementation tips.

SpectraCell is a CLIA accredited laboratory that services healthcare providers nationwide by providing advanced clinical testing.

SpectraCell’s micronutrient tests provide an innovative assessment of a patient’s nutritional status. Unlike traditional serum, hair and urine tests, SpectraCell’s micronutrient tests measure how an individual’s white blood cells respond in specific nutritional environments. As a result, individual differences in metabolism, age, genetics, health, prescription drug usage, absorption rate and other factors are taken into consideration.

SpectraCell’s Lipoprotein Particle Profile™ is the most advanced lipoprotein test available. Unlike traditional cholesterol tests, SpectraCell’s LPP™ directly measures both the density(size) and number of several classes of lipoprotein particles providing an accurate assessment of this independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
