DocTap Covid-19 Coronavirus Antibody Tests
Covid-19 antibody tests can detect if you have had the infection in the past. They do not test for current infection. Your symptoms must have fully cleared up for at least 14 days before we can carry out a Covid-19 antibody test.
DocTap provide laboratory analysed tests from our clinic locations across London.
Covid-19 Antibody Laboratory Test (IgG or IgM)
Our laboratory antibody test is taken by a doctor at one of our GP clinics. In addition to IgM laboratory antibody tests, we offer 2 IgG laboratory tests, one to check for antibodies from previous infection, and one to check for the presence of antibodies in response to the Covid-19 vaccine. The price starts at £49 plus the cost of your GP consultation (prices from £44). You will receive your results by email in 1-2 days time.
Covid-19 Antibody Tests
| Test | Price | Lab results * |
|---|---|---|
| Antibody (IgG) Lab Test | £49 + GP consultation fee | 1-2 days |
Should you prefer a Covid-19 test which is analysed in a laboratory then any of our GPs can take this for you. We offer 2 laboratory tests, one to check for antibodies from previous infection, and one to check for the presence of antibodies in response to the Covid-19 vaccine. Please select Laboratory Antibody Test on the booking page. The GP consultation fee is payable on booking (typically £59) and the test itself (£49) will be payable in the consultation once you have discussed it with the doctor. Antibody tests check whether you have had the virus in the past, NOT whether you are currently infected. We can only do antibody tests 14+ days after all your symptoms have cleared up. |
