Why are your blood tests more expensive than hair tests?

Last Updated: 1st February 2023 · Written by Hennie Frosthagen

Blood testing is usually a much longer process than hair testing, and our staff have to be fully trained to handle biological samples, and ensure the appropriate kits are sent out to clients for the collection of their sample. The blood must be stored appropriately on arrival and it is more time sensitive as blood biodegrades quickly. For this reason, we recommend once you have taken your blood sample it is very important to send this back in the postage paid envelope the same day.
