TOXDetect Profile: Environmental Toxicant Assessment

Understanding Your Environmental Exposure

Modern living exposes us to a wide range of environmental chemicals—from plastics and pesticides to industrial compounds and household products. For practitioners seeking to understand a client's total body burden, accurate testing is essential.

The TOXDetect Profile from Mosaic Diagnostics provides a comprehensive urinary assessment of environmental chemical exposure, offering practitioners valuable insights to guide their clinical approach.

What Sets This Test Apart

Advanced LC-MS/MS Technology This profile utilises liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry—the gold standard in analytical chemistry—ensuring precise, reliable results from a single urine sample.

Comprehensive Chemical Coverage A single test screens for metabolites across multiple chemical classes:

Phthalates – Ubiquitous plasticisers found in food packaging, personal care products, and building materials. These endocrine-disrupting compounds are virtually impossible to avoid entirely in modern environments.

Bisphenols – Including alternatives to BPA that have emerged as manufacturers reformulate products. Research continues to examine whether replacement compounds share similar biological activity.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) – Metabolites of benzene, styrene, xylene, and vinyl chloride—compounds encountered through vehicle emissions, building materials, and industrial processes.

Pesticide Metabolites – Markers indicating exposure to agricultural chemicals through food, water, or environmental contact.

Additional Markers – Including perchlorate, acrylamide, and triphenyl phosphate.

Clinical Utility

The TOXDetect Profile provides objective data to support clinical decision-making. Results help practitioners:

• Identify specific chemical exposures relevant to an individual's presentation
• Guide targeted lifestyle and environmental modifications
• Monitor progress following intervention strategies
• Inform decisions about complementary testing where indicated

Complementary Testing Options

For a more complete picture, the TOXDetect Profile pairs effectively with:

• Organic Acids Test – Assess metabolic function, nutrient status, and detoxification capacity
• Glyphosate Test – Screen for this widely used herbicide separately
• MycoTOX Profile – Evaluate mycotoxin exposure where environmental mould is a concern
• Toxic Elements Panel – Assess heavy metal burden

This test is intended for use under the guidance of a qualified healthcare practitioner. Results should be interpreted within the context of an individual's clinical history and presentation.

Functional Medical Tests – Costs, Terms & Timeframes

All functional test kits incur only minimal administrative costs and include a pre-paid courier bag with full instructions for self-collection and submission. Kits are dispatched to one of our New Zealand distributors — FxMed or Nutriscript — who consolidate and forward samples via weekly shipments to accredited laboratories in the United States or Australia.

The standard turnaround time for results is 3–5 weeks from the date of sample submission. If you have not received your results within 5 weeks, please contact us so we can follow up on your behalf.

Please note: Occasional delays may occur due to customs clearance, international courier disruptions, or laboratory backlogs. These are outside our control but we will assist in tracking and resolving any extended delays.

Once results are available, we receive them directly from the distributor and forward them to you on the same day. Laboratory reports typically include detailed interpretations, reference ranges, and explanatory notes.

We strongly recommend booking a follow-up consultation — either online or in person — to contextualise your results within your broader health strategy. This ensures accurate interpretation and integration into your personalised care plan.

Consultation fees are additional to the cost of the test kit.
