The Home Blood Test kit includes advice on how to collect your sample. If you do have difficulties in collecting the sample, you can contact the lab directly and they will talk you through the process.
Tips for collecting your sample:
- Make sure you are well hydrated
- Warm your hands up to increase the blood flow to your fingers
- Try putting an elastic band around your middle knuckle as a tourniquet
Yes, anyone can collect the sample required by following the instructions provided. The kit includes 3-4 small lancets which pierce your skin, and you then need to gently massage your fingertip to help the droplets into the tube provided.
Detailed information about the markers for the health screening tests offered by Onhealth is available on our website and can be downloaded in PDF format as required.
Our Female Hormone and Menopause Health Tests can both be taken if you are using hormonal contraception or are on HRT. In fact, the Menopause Health Test is ideal for women on HRT. However, if you are using a hormone gel, please ensure you scrub your hands and fingertips thoroughly before collecting your blood sample, as the residue from the gel can remain on your skin and will affect the results of your test.
Onhealth’s Health Screening Tests are for adults only and cannot be purchased for children under the age of 18.
It is essential that the blood test is posted to the lab on the same day it is taken. We recommend posting your sample between Monday and Thursday to avoid delays. The sample tubes contain a reagent to stabilise the blood, but extended delays may result in failed analysis.
The test kits are sent from our associated laboratory by Royal Mail First Class delivery and usually arrive within 1-2 business days. If you have not received your kit within 7 days of purchasing your Health Screening Test, please contact Onhealth and we will liaise with the lab to provide a replacement kit free of charge.
The Home Blood Test kit includes the following:
- Test Tubes
- 3-4 Lancets
- Sterilising wipes
- Plasters
- Lab request form with labels
- Plastic case to protect your sample in transit to the lab
- Tracked-24 Hour Service pre-paid return packaging
When you receive your Home Blood Test kit, you may be advised to wait until a particular time of day to take the sample. Your kit should be stored in a cool, dry place and out of direct sunlight as extreme temperatures could affect the analysis of your sample.
Our associated labs operate a strict quality control programme to ensure high standards are met on a daily basis. Each biomarker is analysed and validated through ISO 15189. All of our associated laboratories hold UKAS Accreditation ISO 15189, which is internationally recognised as the “gold standard” in the health industry. This is the same standard expected of NHS laboratories.
If you are unsuccessful in collecting a sample, you can order a replacement kit through the “My Orders” section of your personalised dashboard in the online portal. Please note that a replacement kit costs £10.00.
Once you have collected your sample, ensure the lids are clicked securely onto the test tubes and properly labelled. Place the sample into the protective plastic casing and put this, together with your completed lab request form, back in the box. The box should then be placed in the return envelope and sealed. This will ensure the sample is properly protected during the transit to the lab.
NOTE: If your blood test is part of the Weight Management Programme, remember to indicate on the lab request form that you consent for Onhealth to view the results in preparation of your 12-week plan.
Yes, all of the Home Blood Test kits include pre-paid return packaging.
