An at-home finger-free blood test checking 8 male hormones, including total and free testosterone, aimed at men wondering whether hormone levels could be behind low energy, low libido or mood changes.
8 biomarkers as listed by Randox Health.
The panel covers 8 hormones: testosterone, free testosterone, luteinising hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, oestradiol, prolactin, SHBG and albumin. Together these are commonly used to build a picture of male hormonal health, including how much of your testosterone is biologically available (free testosterone and SHBG) rather than just the total figure, and whether the pituitary hormones LH and FSH point to a cause further upstream.
Against the eight other male hormone tests in our comparison group, this is the cheapest at £46, sitting below Randox's own clinic-based Male Hormone Test at £48 and well under YorkTest, Selph, Medichecks and Blue Horizon Medicals, priced between £55 and £81. It matches the median biomarker count of 8 for the group, so you are not trading depth for the lower price, and the home Tasso+ collection avoids a clinic visit.
The score is strong on price and clinical depth for the reasons above, and on documentation, since Randox publishes the full biomarker list, sample type and turnaround. It loses marks mainly on results and follow-up, because results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard, so you would need to make sense of the panel yourself or discuss it with your GP.
This suits you if you want a broad, low-cost check of your male hormone levels without booking a clinic appointment, for example if you are noticing low energy, reduced libido or other symptoms you associate with low testosterone and want a starting point before seeing your GP. It is also a sensible pick if you have already compared prices, since it undercuts every other test in our male hormone group, including Randox's own clinic-based Male Hormone Test at £48.
If you would rather have a professional draw your blood, or you specifically want results reviewed by a doctor as part of the service, look at the clinic-based Male Hormone Test instead, or budget for a provider whose package includes doctor review, since none of the tests in this comparison group states that as standard.
You collect your own sample at home using the Quickdraw kit, which uses a Tasso+ device to draw blood from the upper arm rather than a finger prick, then post it to the lab. Randox states results are returned within 2-3 working days of the sample reaching the lab. The provider does not state that results are reviewed by a doctor as standard.
An at-home Quickdraw kit measures 8 key male hormones, including testosterone, free testosterone and oestradiol, using a device that draws blood from the upper arm rather than a finger prick. At £46 it is the cheapest option in our male hormone comparison group, undercutting Randox's own clinic version by £2 and rivals charging up to £81 for similar or narrower panels. The main gap is that results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
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.

This test belongs to our Male hormone panel comparison group. See how it stacks up against equivalent tests from other providers.
Deepest male hormone panel in the group, at median price
A 10-marker panel covering testosterone, other reproductive hormones and the proteins that affect hormone availability. Suited to men investigating low energy, libido or mood changes.
Calculated free testosterone below the group median price
Checks total and calculated free testosterone alongside LH, FSH, SHBG and albumin, giving a fuller picture of male hormone health than a total testosterone test alone. Suited to men with possible low testosterone symptoms such as low energy, low libido or difficulty building muscle.
10-marker panel, but Medichecks matches it for less
A 10-marker male hormone panel testing testosterone alongside free testosterone, oestradiol, SHBG, DHEAS, FSH, LH, prolactin and albumin, for a broader hormonal picture than a single testosterone test.
Broadest male hormone panel we track, priciest too
A 12-marker panel covering testosterone, oestradiol, LH, FSH, prolactin, cortisol and thyroid hormones, for men investigating symptoms like low libido, fatigue or mood changes.
10-marker hormone panel priced above the group median
A blood test covering testosterone, free testosterone, DHEA sulphate, SHBG and related hormones that affect energy, mood, libido and muscle and bone health in men. Suits men wanting a full hormone check rather than testosterone alone.
Below-median price, below-median depth male hormone panel
A 5-marker blood test measuring total and free testosterone, oestradiol, albumin and SHBG, giving more context on hormone balance than a total testosterone test alone. Aimed at men investigating symptoms of hormonal imbalance.
Pricier and narrower than several rival male hormone panels
Checks total and free testosterone, oestradiol, prolactin, albumin and SHBG, aimed at monitoring hormone balance during testosterone replacement therapy.
Fast next-day results, £2 more than the at-home version
A clinic-based blood test checking 8 male hormones, including total and free testosterone, for men wanting the same panel as the at-home Quickdraw kit but with faster results.
Same panel as Medichecks TRT test, £7.75 cheaper
A focused blood test that checks testosterone, free testosterone, SHBG, prolactin and oestradiol after you've changed your TRT protocol, so your prescriber can see how your hormone levels have responded. Suited to men already on testosterone replacement therapy rather than those wanting a first, broader check.
Male hormone panel undercut only by Randox's own test
An at-home finger-prick test measuring eight male hormone markers, including testosterone, free testosterone, LH and FSH. Suited to men aged 20 and over investigating low energy, low libido or mood changes.
Costs more than every named peer in its group
This blood test covers testosterone, free testosterone, oestradiol, prolactin, SHBG, full blood count, PSA and albumin, aimed at men already on testosterone replacement therapy. It suits routine monitoring rather than an initial low-testosterone diagnosis.
5-marker hormone panel costing more than deeper peers
A budget-tier male hormone panel testing testosterone alongside free testosterone, oestradiol, SHBG and albumin, for men who want a slightly wider check than a single testosterone test.
Includes a GP consultation, but costs far more than peers
A 9-marker blood test covering testosterone, LH, FSH, SHBG, DHEA-S, oestradiol, prolactin and albumin, with a private GP consultation included. Suited to men investigating symptoms linked to low testosterone or hormonal changes.
Six-marker male hormone panel, priciest of its peers
A nurse-collected blood test covering six male hormone markers, including testosterone, free androgen index, LH, FSH and prolactin. Suited to men with symptoms such as low sex drive, fatigue or hair loss.
Deepest male hormone panel in the group, at median price
A 10-marker panel covering testosterone, other reproductive hormones and the proteins that affect hormone availability. Suited to men investigating low energy, libido or mood changes.
