How It Works
YorkTest offers an at-home test for all our laboratory services and programs. You’ll receive your test in the mail along with instructions on how to complete it. Then, simply send your sample back to us and wait for your results.
When we receive your test, we get to analysing and processing it. We identify the ingredients and allergens affecting you, so you can take the next step in improving your health.
1
Receive your test kit in the mail
You’ll get your allergy, food sensitivity or health test kit in the mail, 1 – 3 business days after you order. Your kit contains a cleansing wipe for your finger, two lancets (single-use), an absorbent wand, a secure container for the wand, and your customer details form. Make sure to carefully check the information on the form is correct to make sure we can send you your results as soon as possible.

Use the easy finger-prick test to draw a sample
Our test process is quick, simple and pain-free. You’ll only feel a tiny scratch when you take your blood sample. After cleaning the top of your finger, take a lancet and gently pierce the skin. Massage up your finger to squeeze out enough blood to saturate the absorbent wand. If you don’t get enough the first time, use the second lancet to help cover the wand – it’s really important to make sure the wand is completely soaked so we can test your sample correctly.

Mail your sample back to us
Once the wand is totally saturated, carefully seal it in its container. Put the wand, both lancets (whether used or not) and your completed customer form back in the box they came in. Package it up and send it back to us immediately. Once we receive it, your sample will be analyzed and tested for intolerances by our in-house expert team.
