A stool-based qFIT test that checks for hidden blood in your stool, often used to help investigate bowel symptoms or as part of screening.
1 biomarker as listed by Thriva.
This test measures qFIT, a marker that detects tiny, non-visible amounts of blood in a stool sample by picking up a protein released when red blood cells break down in the bowel. The provider notes it is commonly used to help investigate symptoms such as changes in bowel habit, visible blood in stool, unexplained weight loss or unusual tiredness, and that a negative result is reassuring, while an abnormal one means your GP would consider what further tests you might need.
Every test in this comparison group measures the same single qFIT marker, so this is a market where price and collection method matter more than breadth. At £60, this sits almost exactly at the £59.50 group median, cheaper than Bluecrest's £75, LetsGetChecked's £79 and Blue Horizon's £79.25 versions, but pricier than Medichecks' £55, Check My Body Health's £14.99 and MyHealthChecked's £10 tests.
Its collection convenience score reflects the stool-only collection method, which does not offer a nurse or venous alternative. It scores well on results and follow-up since a doctor reviews the outcome, and on value for money given how close it sits to the £59.50 group median.
This suits someone who has been advised to check for hidden blood in stool, for example due to bowel symptoms, or who wants a straightforward screening option. If price is the main factor, Medichecks offers the same single qFIT marker for £55, and Check My Body Health for £14.99; if you would rather not test without symptoms and you are under 45, the provider suggests discussing screening with your GP first.
You collect a stool sample at home using the kit provided, then post it free to the lab. A doctor reviews the qFIT result before you see your report, with results typically back within 3 days.
This qFIT test costs £60, almost exactly the £59.50 median across the 7 FIT tests we compare. It is a single-marker test, like all the others in its group, so the main differences between providers here come down to price and collection rather than depth.
