A non-invasive spectrophotometry scan measuring intracellular mineral levels and heavy metal concentrations in real time, providing results within minutes. No blood draw required.
The Oligoscan uses spectrophotometry technology to measure the concentration of 20 minerals and 14 heavy metals in the tissues by scanning the palm of the hand. Unlike blood tests that measure circulating levels at a single point in time, the Oligoscan assesses intracellular mineral stores — providing a different perspective on nutritional status that reflects tissue accumulation over weeks and months rather than momentary serum concentrations. The scan identifies both mineral deficiencies and excesses, mapping out the balance of essential elements such as magnesium, zinc, selenium, chromium, and iodine. Simultaneously, it screens for the accumulation of toxic heavy metals including mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, and aluminium — environmental contaminants that may accumulate through dietary exposure, dental amalgams, occupational contact, or environmental pollution. Results are generated within minutes and displayed as a visual report that highlights imbalances against reference ranges. At EUR 99, the Oligoscan is Qualevita's most affordable diagnostic entry point and requires no blood draw, making it suitable for individuals who are needle-averse or who want a rapid initial assessment before committing to more comprehensive testing. The results frequently inform Qualevita's IV therapy recommendations — for example, identifying mineral deficiencies that a targeted infusion could address, or heavy metal accumulations that may benefit from the Detox IV protocol.

What's Included
Panel Categories
Biomarkers Tested
6A non-essential metal with no biological function. Elevated aluminium can result from occupational exposure, dialysis, or antacid use. Chronic exposure is associated with bone disease and neurological effects.
A toxic metalloid found in contaminated water, rice, seafood, and industrial settings. Chronic low-level exposure increases cancer risk and damages the cardiovascular, nervous, and endocrine systems. Testing distinguishes organic (dietary) from inorganic (toxic) forms.
A highly toxic heavy metal primarily from cigarette smoke, industrial exposure, and contaminated food. Cadmium accumulates in the kidneys and liver, causing kidney damage, bone loss, and increased cancer risk with chronic exposure.
A toxic heavy metal with no safe level of exposure. Even low blood lead levels cause cognitive impairment, kidney damage, and cardiovascular effects. Sources include old paint, contaminated water, occupational exposure, and certain imported products.
A toxic heavy metal found in certain fish (methylmercury), dental amalgams, and industrial sources. Mercury targets the nervous system, causing tremors, cognitive changes, and sensory impairment. Fish consumption is the primary source for most people.
