YORKTEST Laboratories provides personal health screening services to empower you with knowledge and insights on your own health, enabling you to take charge of your future well-being.
Our key differentiation is that our tests are finger prick blood tests taken at home (except our MAST Test), no need for a GP or hospital appointment. We are the only independently endorsed laboratory by Allergy UK.
The YORKTEST service offers you the information and the tools you need to start getting the best out of your health and wellbeing.
Our tests are accurate and carried out on state of the art equipment.
For many of our tests, including the food intolerance range and the homocysteine tests, you are able to perform the tests yourself at home using simple pin prick devices and our unique blood collection methods.
Testing Services
Food Intolerance Testing
Food intolerance has been linked to many different conditions, including Irritable Bowel Syndrome, migraines, asthma, eczema and being tired all the time. There are no 'rules' when it comes to food intolerance - different foods affect different people in different ways. Often, it is extremely difficult and time consuming to pinpoint which food is making you feel unwell.
How YORKTEST can help:
Our scientifically validated food intolerance tests can identify which foods your body isn't coping with properly; and more importantly, what you can continue to eat normally. Some people actually cut certain foods out of their diet without really knowing for definite if they are the right ones!
Presented in an easy to follow, colour coded format - your results are totally individual and tailored for you. Included is a great follow-up service after you receive your results to help you on the road to better health.

Multi Allergy Screening Test
According to Allergy UK up to 30% of the population are affected by classical allergies. Usually indicated by an immediate reaction to food or inhalants, a classical allergy can aggravate the sense of smell, sight, taste or touch. It often causes intense irritation, disability and, in extreme cases, fatality. It differs from food intolerance to which there is a delayed onset of far milder reactions.
YORKTEST Laboratories have joined forces with Allergy UK to offer an approved testing service for multiple allergens.
"Allergy UK has worked hard with YORKTEST Laboratories to bring an affordable and easily obtainable test to the market as a service to people with allergies. Allergy UK are delighted to recommend the YORKTEST approach for the testing of allergies"
Muriel Simmons, Chief Executive, Allergy UK
Homocysteine Test
Research suggests that high levels of homocysteine in the blood is a contributory factor in heart disease, strokes and thrombosis amongst other diseases and experts are hailing it a better predictor of potential health problems than cholesterol.
The YORKTEST Homocysteine test allows you to easily check your levels of homocysteine using our unique plasma separator device, which was developed in-house by our research scientists.
"Your homocysteine is your most vital health statistic - more important than your weight or blood. It literally tells you where you are on the scale of health and whether you are doing enough to keep yourself in tip-top condition."
Patrick Holford, author and founder of the Institute of Optimum Nutrition.
