MELISA® laboratories need 20-40 ml of blood depending on the number of metals tested. The blood has to be drawn into special tubes containing sodium citrate (anti-coagulant). The patient should not be taking any immuno suppressive medication as this may affect the test results. Examples of such medication are steroids, allergy medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, painkillers etc.
