Specimen Preparation
Separate plasma or serum from cells, protect from light and transfer 1 mL plasma or serum to an ARUP Amber Transport Tube within 1 hour of collection. (Min: 0.5 mL) Separate light-protected specimens must be submitted when multiple tests are ordered.
Storage/Transport Temperature

This test measures pyridoxal 5-phosphate, the biologically active form of vitamin B6.
Reference Interval
20-125 nmol/L
Interpretive Data
Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate measured in a specimen collected following an 8 hour or overnight fast accurately indicates vitamin B6 nutritional status. Non-fasting specimen concentration reflects recent vitamin intake.
This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by ARUP Laboratories. It has not been cleared or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. This test was performed in a CLIA certified laboratory and is intended for clinical purposes.
