Blood Sample Collection Archives

Can I add more biomarkers to my test?

We offer the option of customising most of our test packages so you can create a bespoke test to suit your requirements. You can do this by selecting ‘customise this test’ on the test page.

Where do I keep my kit if I am not ready to take the test yet?

Waiting a short while before collecting your sample is no problem. If you would like to wait, please store your kit in a cool, dry place.

Are your tests available to be purchased as a gift?

Yes, just before checking out, you have the option of selecting if the test kit is for yourself or for someone else. If you select ‘It’s for someone else’ we will include a blank lab request form which will include the details on how the recipient can create an account and activate the test kit in the top right hand corner.

Where can I see what biomarkers are included in my test kit?

Your test results are broken down by each biomarker and can be viewed within your Results Dashboard. Simply click ‘View Results’ button for your test shown in your account.

Can I amend my order after purchase?

If you need to make a change to your order, please contact our support team by emailing [email protected] as soon as possible after purchase.

Could you tell me my blood group?

This is not something we can offer as our lab does not analyse blood groups.

What’s included in a home blood test kit?

Our finger prick blood test kits include everything you need to take your sample and send it back to our lab. Including lancets, test tubes, sterilising wipes, plasters, lab request form and a pre-paid envelope for you to return your sample to our lab.

How accurate are home blood tests?

Our labs operate a robust quality control programme to ensure equality standards are met on a day-to-day basis. Each biomarker analysed is validated for both accuracy and repeatability through ISO 15189 and an ongoing external quality assessment scheme which our lab voluntarily participates in.

How long does it take to get home blood test results?

For the majority of our finger prick blood tests, results will be available within 2 working days from receipt of your sample at our lab.
