This test measures Hepatitis B Surface Antibody levels, used to check whether Hepatitis B vaccination has produced adequate immunity. It suits anyone who needs to confirm immune status, including for occupational health.
1 biomarker as listed by Blue Horizon Medicals.
The Hepatitis B Surface Antibody test, sometimes called an immunity test, measures the level of antibody produced in response to Hepatitis B vaccination. The result is given as a quantity, with a threshold used from an occupational health perspective to decide whether immunity looks adequate; the provider notes that borderline results do happen.
Against the eight Hepatitis B tests we compare, this one sits in the lower-middle of the price range: £54.25, above LloydsPharmacy Online Doctor's £43 immunity check and Blue Horizon's own £45.25 tests, but below the £79.25 group median and well below Better2Know's £70 home kits.
It scores well on clarity, since the listing explains what the antibody level and its threshold mean. Collection convenience is held back by the need for a venous draw at a clinic or nurse home visit. Results are reviewed by a doctor, and Blue Horizon has traded since 2009 with a 4.2 Trustpilot score from 395 reviews and lab work through UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs.
This suits anyone who has been vaccinated against Hepatitis B and needs to confirm their antibody level, for example for occupational health requirements in healthcare or similar roles, or simply to check a vaccination has worked. It is not a test for current infection.
If price is the main concern, LloydsPharmacy Online Doctor offers a Hepatitis B immunity test for £43, around £11 less than this one. If a borderline result comes back, the provider notes that further immunisation and a repeat test may be worth discussing with a GP.
This is a blood test taken as a venous draw; there is no finger-prick option. You can arrange your own blood collection or choose a Circle Hospital, Superdrug store or nurse home visit at checkout. Once the sample reaches the lab, your antibody level is reviewed by a doctor and results are typically back within 1 day.
The Hepatitis B Surface Antibody test checks whether vaccination has produced a protective antibody level, which is often what's needed for occupational health sign-off. At £54.25 it sits above LloydsPharmacy's £43 immunity check but below the £79.25 group median, and below Better2Know's £70 home kits. Borderline results can occur, in which case further immunisation may be worth discussing with a GP.
The listing publishes a detailed description, the full biomarker list, a stated turnaround, clear collection options, the sample type; it does not state what the report looks like.
A single-marker test measuring exactly what it sets out to; depth is not the point of this comparison group.
A blood sample taken at home by a visiting nurse or phlebotomist; with a venous or clinic option as well; a home nurse visit is offered; results in around 1 days, well ahead of the immunity norm of 3.
Results are reviewed by a doctor; the provider does not describe the report format.

Cheap, at-home Hepatitis B antigen test with fast results
This test checks for Hepatitis B Surface Antigen, which shows whether you have been infected with Hepatitis B within the past few weeks. It suits anyone wanting a fast, at-home check after a possible exposure.
Below the group median, but not the cheapest antigen check
Checks for hepatitis B surface antigen, the marker used to detect a current infection, via a simple blood test. Suits anyone wanting to check for active hepatitis B after possible exposure.
Not the cheapest hepatitis B immunity check available
Checks for hepatitis B surface antibodies to confirm immunity from vaccination or past infection; it does not detect a current infection. Suits people who need proof of protection for work, travel or healthcare requirements.
Cheap single-marker Hepatitis B test, slower turnaround
This test looks for Hepatitis B Core Antibody IgM, a marker used to indicate a recent or current Hepatitis B infection. It suits anyone who has had a possible exposure and wants a single, focused marker checked.
Priciest Hepatitis B option in its comparison group
This test measures total Hepatitis B Core Antibody (IgG and IgM combined), helping distinguish a current infection from one that has resolved. It suits anyone wanting a fuller picture than a single IgM check gives.
Lowest-priced hepatitis B immunity check we track
A single-marker blood test that checks whether you have immunity to hepatitis B following vaccination, not a test for a current infection.
Home infection check, also available via clinic for £145
An at-home finger-prick blood test for Hepatitis B surface antigen, used to check for a current Hepatitis B infection. Suited to people who may have been exposed and want to test after the stated incubation window.
Below-average price for a Hepatitis B immunity check
An at-home finger-prick blood test that checks whether you are immune to Hepatitis B, either through vaccination or past infection. Suited to people who want to confirm their immunity without a clinic visit.
Same single marker as Medichecks' £55 test, priced at £189
Checks for hepatitis B surface antigen, the marker used to indicate current infection. It measures one biomarker despite the Profile name, so it suits situations calling for that specific antigen check rather than a broader panel.
Same infection check, twice the price of the home kit
A clinic blood test for Hepatitis B surface antigen, used to check for a current Hepatitis B infection following possible blood-to-blood exposure. Suited to people who would rather use a clinic than a home kit.
Priced well above every peer in its Hepatitis B group
A blood test for Hepatitis B core antibodies, showing whether you have ever had the infection, though not when you were exposed.
Most expensive test in its Hepatitis B comparison group
A single blood test checking for Hepatitis B core antibodies, which show whether you have ever been infected, without indicating when.
Immunity check, pricier than Better2Know's own home kit
A clinic blood test that checks whether you are immune to Hepatitis B, either from vaccination or a past infection. Suited to people needing to confirm their immunity status, including some at-risk professions.
Costliest single hepatitis B check against its peers
A single-marker blood test for hepatitis B, giving a same-day result at the clinic, for anyone who wants a quick check of this one infection.
Second-priciest test in the Hepatitis B range
A clinic blood test measuring Hepatitis B 'e' antibody. Better2Know does not publish further detail on this specific listing beyond the marker it tests for.
Monitoring test for known Hepatitis B, not a first screen
A clinic blood test measuring the amount of Hepatitis B virus in the blood, used to monitor people with a known chronic Hepatitis B infection. Suited to those already diagnosed, rather than as a first check.
