  • OSS-005

    Aldolase

    Bones, joints and muscles · Bones, joints and muscles1 markerBlood (vein)Result in about 5 working days

    Collection point

    Measures aldolase, an enzyme in the blood. Raised levels may point to muscle damage or disease, and the test can help monitor treatment for these conditions.

  • OSS-006

    Calcitonin

    Bones, joints and muscles · Bones, joints and muscles1 markerBlood (vein)Result in about 1 working day

    Collection point

    Measures calcitonin, a hormone made mainly by the thyroid gland. It is used as a marker when checking and monitoring certain thyroid conditions.

  • OSS-007

    Calcium

    Bones, joints and muscles · Bones, joints and muscles1 markerBlood (vein)Result in about 1 working day

    Collection point

    Calcium is an essential mineral for strong bones and teeth and for healthy muscle and nerve function. Levels that are too high or too low can relate to the parathyroid glands, vitamin D or the kidneys.

    Calcium

  • OSS-008

    Calcium + Vitamin D

    Bones, joints and muscles · Bones, joints and muscles2 markersBlood (vein)Result in about 1 working day

    Collection point

    Measures calcium and vitamin D together. Calcium keeps bones and teeth strong and vitamin D helps the body absorb it; low levels of either can lead to weak bones.

  • OSS-009

    Collagen Type 1 Cross-Linked N-Telopeptide - NTX

    Bones, joints and muscles · Bones, joints and muscles1 markerUrineResult in about 15 working days

    Collection point

    Measures NTX in urine, a marker of bone resorption, the process of breaking down and removing old bone tissue. Raised levels show increased bone resorption, which is relevant to conditions such as osteoporosis.

  • OSS-010

    Crosslaps - Serum Deoxypyridinoline (DPD)

    Bones, joints and muscles · Bones, joints and muscles1 markerBlood (vein)Result in about 4 working days

    Collection point

    Measures deoxypyridinoline, a collagen crosslink released when old bone is broken down. It helps assess bone turnover and monitor conditions such as osteoporosis, osteopenia and Paget's disease.

    Coagulation Profile 1

    Blood and clotting · Clotting4 markersBlood (vein)Result in about 3 working days

    Collection point

    Measures prothrombin time, INR, APTT and fibrinogen, which show how the blood clots. It can help assess bleeding or clotting problems, liver health and vitamin K. The sample must reach the lab within 2 hours.

  • SAN-005

    Factor V of Leiden

    Blood and clotting · Clotting1 markerBlood (vein)Result in about 5 working days

    Collection point

    This test is usually requested by a healthcare professional. It looks for a change in the Factor V gene (G1691A) that raises the risk of abnormal blood clots, especially in the veins.

    Factor V Leiden - G1691A mutation

  • SAN-006

    Factor VIII Assay

    Blood and clotting · Clotting1 markerBlood (vein)Result in about 5 working days

    Collection point

    This test is usually requested by a healthcare professional. It measures a clotting factor, a protein in the blood that is essential for blood clotting.

    Factor XII Assay

  • SAN-007

    Lupus Anticoagulant

    Blood and clotting · Clotting1 markerBlood (vein)Result in about 3 working days

    Collection point

    Looks for lupus anticoagulant, an antibody that can increase the tendency to form blood clots. It is associated with autoimmune conditions such as lupus and with pregnancy loss.

    Lupus anticoagulant

  • SAN-011

    Blood Group

    Blood and clotting · Blood count1 markerBlood (vein)Result in about 1 working day

    Collection point

    Identifies your blood type (A, B, AB or O, and Rh positive or negative). It matters for transfusions, transplants and during pregnancy. The tube must be labelled by hand.

    Blood Group

  • SAN-012

    Carboxyhaemoglobin

    Blood and clotting · Blood count1 markerBlood (vein)Result in about 5 working days

    Collection point

    Measures carboxyhaemoglobin, formed when carbon monoxide binds to haemoglobin. Raised levels are linked to carbon monoxide exposure from smoke, faulty heating or exhaust fumes.

    Carboxyhaemoglobin

  • SAN-013

    Coombs (Direct Antiglobulin Test)

    Blood and clotting · Blood count1 markerBlood (vein)Result in about 3 working days
