About this test
What is a complete blood test?
The Better2Know complete blood test assesses your blood and measures all of its components. This Better2Know test measures and counts your platelets, red blood cells and five different types of white blood cells in your sample. The Haematology test comprehensively assesses the general health of your blood and related systems which are crucial to living a full and healthy life.
How does this test work?
This test requires a clinician to collect your blood sample. When your nurse has collected your samples, it will be sent for analysis at our accredited laboratory.
What tests will you run on my sample?
The complete blood count test will analyse the following:
Full blood count (FBC) with a 5-part differential. This test checks the level of all your different blood cells to identify any abnormalities
