Blood test measuring Rubella IgG antibodies to check whether you are immune to rubella, for example through past infection or vaccination. Suited to people who need to confirm their immunity status.
1 biomarker as listed by Better2Know.
This test checks for Rubella IgG antibodies. According to Better2Know, if you test negative for IgM antibodies and your IgG level is above 10 IU/ml, this indicates immunity to rubella through past vaccination or infection, rather than an active infection. IgG typically appears in the blood shortly after IgM, so this test is generally used to confirm long-term immunity rather than to catch a new infection early.
Counted as a single biomarker, this test sits around the middle of the range for clinical depth among the immunity tests we track. Its £175 price is above the median for similarly sized immunity tests, which is the main reason it scores below average on value for money. The listing itself is clear, with a full description, the biomarker tested, a stated one-day turnaround and clear collection options, which is why it scores well for clarity.
The remaining scores reflect collection and follow-up. You can have blood drawn at a clinic or by a home nurse visit, with results ready the next working day, giving a reasonably convenient middle score. Results are not doctor-reviewed as standard, which is the main reason it loses marks on results and follow-up, though Better2Know says it can arrange a private doctor consultation if your results suggest an active infection. Trust signals reflect a 4.2 Trustpilot score from 775 reviews, CQC registration, and 18 years trading.
This suits you if you need to confirm you are immune to rubella, for example ahead of pregnancy or for occupational health reasons, and want a fast, next-day result.
It is not designed to catch a new, active rubella infection on its own, since IgM antibodies typically appear first; if you have current symptoms such as a rash and fever, discuss testing for both IgG and IgM with a GP. Better2Know has not linked this test to a named group of comparable products, so there is no data here on whether a cheaper immunity check is available elsewhere.
You provide a venous blood sample at a Better2Know clinic, or a nurse can visit you to take the sample. The sample is analysed for Rubella IgG antibodies, with results ready within one working day of the sample reaching the lab. You view your results through Better2Know's online patient area, and the patient services team contacts you once they are ready. Results are not doctor-reviewed as standard, though Better2Know says it can arrange a private consultation if needed.
Checking for Rubella IgG antibodies, this test indicates whether you are immune to rubella through past vaccination or infection. At £175, it costs more than the typical price for similarly sized immunity tests we track. Better2Know has not matched it to a named group of comparable products, and results are not doctor-reviewed as standard.
