Comfortable Home Blood Collection
Our autodraw device is designed to make home sample collection simpler, more comfortable, and more convenient.
What Is the Autodraw Device?
The autodraw device is a clinically validated blood collection system designed to make home sample collection simpler, more comfortable, and more convenient.
Unlike traditional finger-prick methods, the autodraw device helps reduce excessive squeezing during collection, which may lower the risk of haemolysis and insufficient samples.
Designed for easy at-home use, the device requires no medical training and provides a more user-friendly collection experience.

Common Questions
Do I need to fast before my test?
Fasting is not required for most of our tests. If fasting is needed for a specific marker, this will be clearly stated in your test instructions.
How do I know I've collected enough blood?
Your kit includes step-by-step instructions designed to help you collect a sufficient sample first time. This includes tips to improve blood flow and ensure proper filling of the collection tube.
If you are unsure during collection, our support team is available to guide you through the process.
What if I struggle to collect my sample?
Some people may find blood collection more difficult depending on circulation, hydration, or temperature. Our instructions include practical steps to improve success, such as warming the hands and using correct positioning.
We recommend following the guidance carefully to ensure the best chance of a successful collection.
How long do results take?
Results are typically available within 3-7 working days after your sample arrives at the laboratory. You will be notified as soon as your results are ready.
How are my results delivered?
Your results are delivered securely through your online account. You will be able to view your full report, including reference ranges and clear explanations of each marker.
Are your tests accurate?
Yes. All samples are analysed in accredited UK laboratories using validated testing methods and quality-controlled processes to ensure reliable results.
Can I take the test if I'm on medication or contraception?
Certain medications and hormonal contraceptives may affect some hormone levels. Your results will still be processed and should be interpreted in context with your health, symptoms, and any medication you are taking.
What is the difference between finger prick and autodraw?
Finger prick uses a small lancet to collect blood from the fingertip, while autodraw devices collect blood from the upper arm using gentle, vacuum-assisted technology.
Autodraw is generally preferred by users who want a more comfortable and easier collection experience.
Can I retake the test to track changes?
Yes. Many customers choose to retest over time to monitor changes in their health. The frequency depends on your individual health goals and the test being taken.
Do I need to interpret my results myself?
Your results include reference ranges and clear explanations to help you understand what each marker means. However, interpretation should always consider your symptoms, medical history, and individual health context.
