Protein electrophoresis

About this test

This test measures a single marker described only as protein electrophoresis. The provider does not publish a plain-English description of what the marker is used to assess, so we cannot explain its clinical purpose beyond the name of the test itself.

It scores respectably for value for money, since £89.25 sits below the median price we see for similarly sized general wellness tests, though clinical depth is modest, reflecting that a single marker sits toward the lower end of the general wellness tests we track. Collection convenience is limited, since it requires a venous draw at a clinic or a nurse home visit, with results taking around 10 days.

The listing states the biomarker, turnaround and collection options, but not a description of the test or of what the report looks like. Results are reviewed by a doctor. Blue Horizon Medicals works with UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs and has traded since 2009.

Who is it for?

Because the provider does not explain what this marker is used to assess, this test suits people who have already been advised to have protein electrophoresis specifically, rather than someone browsing for a general health check.

We do not have a directly comparable named protein electrophoresis test from another provider in our data, so we cannot point you to a cheaper or better-documented alternative. If you are unsure whether this is the right test, check with your GP or the provider before ordering.

How it works

This is a blood test taken by venous draw, either at a clinic or with a nurse home visit; there is no at-home collection option. The sample is analysed for protein electrophoresis, with results taking around 10 days and reviewed by a doctor before you receive them.
