Clinical Utility
The US BioTek MOE-Tox Profile is a urine-based assessment that combines organic acid metabolites, environmental pollutant markers, and mycotoxin analysis to evaluate toxicant exposure patterns, mitochondrial function, detoxification pathways, oxidative stress, and metabolic function. The test may provide adjunctive information related to environmental chemical exposure, mold-associated toxin exposure, biochemical pathway activity, and metabolic stress when interpreted alongside clinical history, environmental exposures, symptoms, and standard clinical evaluation.

Collection & Handling
Collection Instructions
The MOE-Tox Profile uses a first-morning urine specimen collected at home using the kit provided by the laboratory. Patients are instructed to avoid specific foods, preservatives, alcohol, coffee, tea, and excessive fluid intake for 48 hours prior to collection. Collection should not occur during menstruation, active urinary tract infection, or while taking methylene blue. The first morning urine is collected using a mid-stream collection technique and transferred into the provided transport tubes according to kit instructions. Tubes must be labeled appropriately, sealed securely, placed into the provided biohazard bag and shipping materials, and returned to the laboratory promptly.
