What is the Vitamin test?

- Active B12 (holotranscobalamin)
All the vitamins you choose are measured in the same few drops of blood.
How does the Vitamin test work?
You do the Vitamin test at home in four steps: order the kit, take a few drops of blood with a finger prick, register your kit and post it to our lab, and read your result in your account.
Novi Labtest makes the kit and manages every step; our accredited lab analyses your sample.
What do you get with your result?
You get each value with its usual range, in your account. Only you see it.
A lab result is not a diagnosis and doesn't replace advice from a doctor. If you have symptoms or concerns, or a value is outside the usual range, please contact your doctor.

How do you take a finger prick sample for the Vitamin test?
You take this sample at home with a finger prick: a few drops of blood from your fingertip into the tube with the yellow cap. It takes a few minutes.
-
Get everything ready
Unfold the tube stand and put the tube in it. Lay out the alcohol wipe, the safety lancets, the gauze pad and the plaster.
-
Wash and warm your hands
Wash your hands with warm water and dry them well. Warm hands give blood more easily.
-
Clean your fingertip
Choose the middle or ring finger of the hand you write with least. Clean the side of the fingertip with the alcohol wipe and let it dry.
-
Prick the side of your fingertip
Press the safety lancet firmly against the side of your fingertip. Wipe away the first drop with the gauze pad. There is a second lancet in the kit.
-
Fill the tube
Hold your hand low and let the drops fall into the tube up to [fill line: from our lab]. Massage gently from your palm to your fingertip; don't squeeze hard.
-
Close the tube
Close the yellow cap firmly and put the plaster on your finger.
-
Register your kit
In your account, enter the kit code on the tube and the time you took the sample.
-
Pack and post
Put the tube with the absorbent sheet in the safety bag, add the test form and close the return envelope. Post it the same day, on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, so it isn't stuck in the post over the weekend.
