EnMed MicroAnalytics (Charleston, SC) has a proprietary method for detecting very low concentrations of lead and other heavy metals collected from a single finger-or-heel stick. According to the CDC, almost all U.S. children are at risk for lead poisoning.  Screening for lead and and other heavy metals is important because even small amounts can cause irreversible damage to a child’s brain resulting in neurological and behavioral problems, as well as damage to the heart, kidneys, lung, and bone. This technology will enable routine (and ideally universal) screening of every pregnant woman and newborn, and selected pediatric patients for exposure to lead and other heavy metals.
