Coronavirus: Covid-19 & Allergy Test

Is it safe for me to take one of your allergy and intolerance tests?

Absolutely. We’re cleaning our facilities regularly, particularly our labs. Our Technicians and staff are adhering to the strictest standards of hygiene, cleaning hands on a regular basis and making constant use of hand sanitising stations located throughout the building. The only physical thing we send to you are blood testing kits which are handled with the strictest of hygiene controls. Your results are sent via email so nothing further will be physically sent from our building.

Can I take a test if I have tested positive for or suspect I have Covid-19?

As with any infectious disease, we ask that you do not submit samples while still infected. In this particular case, we ask that you complete the recommended isolation period before submitting your sample for testing.

Will the ongoing pandemic affect the time it takes me to receive my results?

There may be a small delay in the time it takes us to process samples, but currently we still expect to be able to deliver results within the 3 days we advise in normal circumstances.

Will my results be affected if I have an undiagnosed case of Covid-19?

Covid-19 has no effect on your results. You can still be confident in the continued accuracy of the results your receive.

Yes, you can still contact us via LiveChat on our website or via email at [email protected]. To prevent potential spread within the business which could impact our ability to operate, our customer service team are working from home and will endeavour to respond to your as soon as possible.

HAIR SAMPLE TESTING

How do I take a hair sample?
The safest way to take a hair sample is to ask someone else to help you. First brush your hair upwards to reveal the root area at the back of the head, then holding a small amount of hair between the finger and thumb, cut the hair as close to the scalp as possible (without drawing blood). If you do not have anyone to help you, using a mirror may help ensure you avoid injury.

My hair is dyed, will this affect the result?

When you send your samples to us, please remember to attach the correct postage amount to your envelope or outer wrap.

Please find a suitable posting solution. For more information please visit our International Service page.

What's included in my test?

Your test results will include only those showing a sensitivity level of 85% or over. After performing thousands of tests, we have found 85% to be the point at which symptoms begin to develop from an intolerance. 

My hair is very short, can you still complete the tests?
The hair sample does not have to be from the head; we can test hair from any part of the body including leg, arm or chest.

Does it hurt to take a blood test?

We provide you with two FDA approved lancets, which are designed to give you a very small prick to start the blood flow. It’s exactly the same as a pin prick and if administered correctly, will not hurt.

What should I do if my blood clots too quickly?

We recommend you prick your middle or index finger after a brief walk, and following running your hand under a hot tap. If the blood still clots, you can start to massage your finger from your palm of your hand downwards to stimulate more blood onto the card.

What happens if I don't fill all five spots?

Click on the LiveChat button on our website (open Monday to Friday, 24 hours a day) and we will arrange for new lancets and a new card to be sent immediately. This will cause a delay in your testing process so we recommend following the instructions carefully the first time you test

Can I complete a blood or hair test on my child?

To offer accurate testing, we do not test children under the age of 5. This is due to a child’s system changing when they are younger which can cause more adverse reactions whilst young.

Can you complete the test on animals?

Unfortunately, we cannot carry out our blood tests on animals due to the different types of antibodies and risk of lab contamination.

Can you take the blood test if you have a blood born disease like HIV or hepatitis?

Unfortunately we cannot accept blood samples that have any viruses.

Can the blood or hair test be carried out if you're pregnant?

You can do still complete a hair test, however for accuracy, we would not recommend a blood test as the results may be varied due to the natural changes your body will be going through. For complete accuracy, we would suggest waiting until after childbirth.

Will medication affect my test results in anyway?

Unfortunately, as there is a large variety in medication it may affect your samples. Antihistamines have been shown to have an affect on results, we advise stopping antihistamine use for 3-5 days before taking your sample. We would recommend you seek advice from your doctor, or a member of our dedicated Customer Services team who are available on LiveChat 24 hours a day, Monday-Friday
