PSA test priced at the group's £59 median
A single blood test measuring prostate specific antigen (PSA), a marker commonly used to help assess prostate cancer risk. Suited to men aged 45 and over, or 40 and over if at higher risk, as part of regular monitoring.
One of Selph's fastest stool test turnarounds
A single stool marker for gut inflammation, commonly used to help distinguish between irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease when investigating ongoing gut symptoms.
Priced close to the FIT test group median
A stool test using the qFIT method to measure blood in a stool sample, giving a numerical result rather than a simple positive or negative. Suited to adults wanting to check a common early indicator of possible bowel cancer risk.
Mid-priced Lp(a) test, between Medichecks and Bluecrest
A single Lp(a) blood test measuring a largely genetically determined cholesterol-like particle linked to heart disease risk, recommended by some guidelines as a once-in-a-lifetime check for adults.
Above-median price for a single total testosterone test
A single blood test measuring total testosterone, a hormone linked to sex drive, energy, mood, fertility and muscle mass in both men and women. Suited to anyone wanting a straightforward first check on their testosterone level.
Cheaper, narrower screen than Selph's Advanced version
A 7-marker stool test screening for common gut bacteria and parasites by PCR and microscopy, for people with gut symptoms who want a lower-cost first check before considering a wider panel.
Cystatin C kidney test priced well below the broader market
A 2-marker kidney function test using cystatin C to calculate eGFR, an alternative to creatinine-based kidney tests for people whose muscle mass or creatine use could affect a standard result.
Mid-priced lab test versus much cheaper rapid kits
A single stool antigen test for Helicobacter pylori infection, a common cause of stomach inflammation and indigestion, for people with ongoing upper gut symptoms.
Priced below average for a 9-marker metabolic panel
Checks cholesterol (including HDL, LDL and triglycerides), blood sugar control (HbA1c) and inflammation (CRP), markers linked to heart and metabolic health. Suited to anyone wanting a wider check on these risk factors rather than a single cholesterol test.
Cheap niche marker, but one of Selph's slowest tests
A single stool marker (faecal elastase) that checks how well the pancreas is releasing digestive enzymes, for people with chronic diarrhoea, weight loss or pale, greasy stools.
Above-median price for a single ferritin marker
A single ferritin blood test checking iron stores, aimed at people with symptoms of tiredness or at higher risk of iron deficiency, such as those on plant-based diets or with heavy periods.
Same single marker as rivals, priced above most
A single HbA1c blood test measuring average blood sugar over roughly the past three months, commonly used to assess risk of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.
