About this test

The General Health Quickdraw Test measures 23 biomarkers covering cholesterol and lipids, liver function, kidney health, iron status, thyroid hormones, HbA1c for diabetes risk, vitamin D and vitamin B12, along with related markers such as creatine kinase and albumin. These are commonly used as a general baseline check across several body systems rather than screening for one specific condition.

Against the 32 tests in its comparison group, its 23 biomarkers sit above the median of 18, which is reflected in a strong clinical depth score. Its price also undercuts the group's £113 median by around a quarter, making it one of the stronger value options among general health checks; peers such as Monitor My Health's £49 Essential Health Screen or YorkTest's £55 Essential Health Check cover far fewer markers, 9 and 18 respectively.

Collection uses Randox Health's Tasso+ device, drawing blood from the upper arm rather than a finger prick, with results back within 2 to 3 working days, contributing to a solid collection convenience score. The listing also publishes the full biomarker list and clear collection details, supporting a high score for clarity and documentation, though it does not describe what the results report looks like. Results and follow-up scores lower, because this test is not reviewed by a doctor as standard, and trust signals remain high on the back of Randox Health's Trustpilot rating, lab accreditation and CQC registration.

Who is it for?

This suits people who want a broad, one-off snapshot of general health, covering heart, liver, kidney, thyroid, iron and nutritional markers, without the finger-prick collection used by many home tests. It is a reasonable middle-ground option if you want more depth than a basic cholesterol or diabetes screen but do not need a doctor to review the results.

If you specifically want the lowest-cost option and do not mind fewer markers, Monitor My Health's Essential Health Screen covers 9 biomarkers for £49, or YorkTest's Essential Health Check covers 18 for £55. If a doctor-reviewed result matters to you, this test does not offer that as standard.

How it works

You collect a blood sample at home using Randox Health's Quickdraw (Tasso+) device, which draws blood from the upper arm rather than a finger prick, then post it to the lab. Results for the 23 biomarkers are provided within 2 to 3 working days of the sample reaching the lab, and are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Covers 23 biomarkers, above the median of 18 for its comparison group.
  • Tasso+ device collects blood from the upper arm, avoiding a finger prick.
  • Results in 2-3 working days, one of the faster turnarounds in its group.
  • Priced below the £113 comparison-group median despite the wider marker count.

Cons

  • Results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
  • Does not explain what the results report will look like.
  • Costs more than budget peers such as Monitor My Health's £49 Essential Health Screen, though it tests more markers.

Our editorial score

Editorial confidence: 9.5/10

Covering 23 biomarkers spanning heart, liver, kidney, iron, thyroid, diabetes risk and nutrition, this at-home Quickdraw blood test costs £84, below the median for its comparison group despite testing more markers than most of the cheaper options in that group. The main caveat is that results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
