IgG Subclasses

Breaks total IgG down into its four subclasses from a single blood sample, giving more detail than a total IgG figure alone. Suited to anyone who needs subclass-level detail rather than an overall IgG count.

About this test

This test measures the four subclasses of immunoglobulin G (IgG) rather than a single total IgG figure. Breaking the total down into subclasses can show more detail than a total IgG count alone, which is why this profile is offered as a standalone test.

Against the 79 similarly sized immunity tests we track, its single combined biomarker entry places it in the 36th percentile for clinical depth, and its £144.25 price is around 12% above the £129.00 median for that group. Collection is by venous blood draw, at a clinic or via a home nurse visit, and results take around 10 days, longer than most other tests in this comparison.

The overall score is held back mainly by the long turnaround and a below-average clinical depth score for a single biomarker profile, alongside a value-for-money score that reflects the above-median price. Results and follow-up score reasonably because a doctor reviews the results. Blue Horizon Medicals holds a 4.2 Trustpilot rating from 395 reviews, uses UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs, and has traded since 2009.

Who is it for?

This suits anyone who specifically needs their IgG broken down into its four subclasses, rather than a single total IgG figure or a wider immunity panel.

Because results take around 10 days and the price sits above the median for similarly sized immunity tests we track, it is worth confirming this specific subclass breakdown is what you need before ordering, rather than a faster or cheaper general immunity or immunoglobulin test.

How it works

This is a blood test collected by venous draw, either at a clinic or through a nurse home visit; there is no at-home finger-prick option. Results take around 10 days, and a doctor reviews them before you receive them.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Breaks IgG down into all four subclasses rather than a single total figure
  • Results are checked by a doctor before being sent to you
  • Collection available via clinic visit or home nurse visit

Cons

  • Turnaround of around 10 days, slower than most comparable tests we track
  • Priced around 12% above the median for similarly sized immunity tests we track
  • Single combined biomarker entry, so limited clinical depth for the price

Our editorial score

Compare Health Test Score Single-marker IgG subclass test with a 10-day wait
Editorial confidence: 10.0/10

This test breaks total IgG into its four subclasses for £144.25, with a doctor reviewing the results in around 10 days. It costs about 12% more than the £129.00 median for the 79 similarly sized immunity tests we track, and its turnaround is one of the slower ones in this comparison. It suits people who specifically need subclass-level detail rather than a broader immunity panel.

Score breakdown

  • Clarity and documentation 8.0/10

    The listing publishes a short description, the full biomarker list, a stated turnaround, clear collection options, the sample type; it does not state what the report looks like.

  • Clinical depth 6.6/10

    1 biomarkers, placing it in the 36th percentile of immunity tests we track.

  • Collection convenience 8.0/10

    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 10 days, slower than similar tests.

  • Results and follow-up 7.0/10

    Results are reviewed by a doctor; the provider does not describe the report format.

  • Trust signals 7.5/10

    Trustpilot 4.2 from 395 reviews; accredited lab (UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs); trading 17+ years.

  • Value for money 5.9/10

    £144.25 against a median of £129.00 for the 79 similarly sized immunity tests we track (+12%).
