Order your Home Prostate Health Test to gain a fast indication of above the normal range levels of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA).

Prostate -Specific Antigen (PSA) is a blood protein secreted by your prostate gland. PSA appears in blood in higher than normal concentrations when the gland is enlarged or cancerous. Monitoring the prostate as a key biomarker is important for men over the age of 50.

Abnormal levels of Prostate Specific Antigen in your blood can be an indicator that further investigation of the prostate is required. This test uses a small sample of blood in a compact testing kit which is mailed directly to you.

The easy-to-use CE approved testing kit is mailed immediately on purchase and should reach you within 1-3 working days.

In the box, there will be full instructions provided on how to complete the sample and testing process in 5 minutes.

The prostate test to protect your health

Prostate issues are relatively common. However, the three most popular conditions are prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and prostate cancer.

Where prostatitis is the issue of an inflamed prostate, BPH is an enlarged prostate of non-cancerous origin. It’s prostate cancer, however, that impacts most people as 1 in 8 men over 50 is diagnosed with the disease.

How can a Prostate Health Test help me?

Typically taken through a blood test, our prostate health check helps us analyse how much the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is produced by your prostate gland.

A high PSA level may be an indication of whether a man is suffering from prostate cancer.

Whenever the prostate is affected in any way, the symptoms often impact a man’s daily life. Pressure on the bladder from an enlarged or inflamed prostate may lead to difficulty in urination, accidental leakage of urine or frequent need for urination.

The body is something to protect, but you can only do that if you know you’re at your physically strongest.

  1. Receive your test kit in the post.
  2. Clean your finger and use the finger prick lancet to release blood.
  3. Fill the capillary dropper with blood up to the black line.
  4. Squeeze two drops of the blood into the sample area marked S on the test cassette.
  5. Allow the blood to absorb and add one drop of single use buffer to the sample well.
  6. Wait 5 minutes for the results to appear.
    NOTE: Do not interpret before 5 minutes or after 10 minutes as the results may be inaccurate.

The PSA Rapid Test Cassette (Whole Blood /Serum /Plasma) is a semi-quantitative, membrane-based immunoassay for the detection of PSA in whole blood, serum or plasma.

The membrane is pre-coated with PSA antibodies on the test line region. During testing, the specimen reacts with the particle coated with an anti-PSA antibody.

The mixture migrates upward on the membrane chromatographically by capillary action to react with anti-PSA antibodies on the membrane and generate a coloured line.

The test result is visualised on the cassette with the appearance of intensity lines:

  • Test line (T) intensity weaker than the reference line (R) indicates that the PSA level in the specimen is between 3-10ng/ml (LOW-POSITIVE)
  • Test line (T) intensity equal or close to the reference line (R) indicates that the PSA level in the specimen is approximately 10ng/ml (MEDIUM-POSITIVE).
  • Test line (T) intensity stronger than the reference line (R) indicates that the PSA level in the specimen is above 10ng/ml (HIGH-POSITIVE).
  • As a procedural control, a coloured line will always appear in the control line region (C), indicating that a proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane absorbing has occurred.
