Our test is a laboratory test that measures the level of coronavirus antibodies in your blood (Roche Anti-SARS-CoV-2-S). You can use this test to monitor your antibody levels to record your response to the virus or the vaccine. To monitor your results, we recommend taking a test every three-four months. This test is only available as a home finger-prick kit because clinic and nurse services are not permitted to collect venous samples for coronavirus antibody tests unless they are covered by UKAS accreditation. As our laboratory is UKAS accredited, we can offer this test with a self-collection finger-prick kit. Your anonymised data may be used to help UK public health agencies (including Public Health England) and other organisations understand the spread of coronavirus within the UK population.

Your results will tell you if COVID-19 antibodies were detected in your blood and what level those antibodies are. A result below 0.8 U/ml means that the lab did not find antibodies in your sample. A result above 0.8 U/ml means that antibodies were detected, so you likely have had coronavirus (or have been vaccinated). It is possible to get a result below 0.8 U/ml even if you have had a coronavirus infection in the past. This could be because you only experienced mild (or non-existent) symptoms. After all, your body responded to the virus using different parts of your immune system, or because you took the test too soon after having the virus or vaccination (we recommend waiting three weeks). Your anonymised data may be used to help UK public health agencies (including Public Health England) and other organisations understand the spread of coronavirus within the UK population.

Vitamin D deficiency is common in the UK, and symptoms include low energy, aches and pains, depression, and getting sick often. You may be more prone to a vitamin D deficiency if you're over 65, have dark skin, or suffer from inflammatory bowel disease or other fat malabsorption conditions. This test is helpful if you are in a higher-risk group for vitamin D deficiency or haven't been in the sun as often as you would like.
