GBResult unreliable RA kit was easy enough to perform, and I received results in a timely manner. However, I had same lab work done in an outside lab to confirm, a few days after receiving my result and it was completely different. Imaware results showed I had a high level of level of Anti-CCP antibodies, however results from LabCorp showed essentially none.

GBI had trouble with the lancet I had trouble with the lancet - the spring was nicely gentle, but maybe almost too gentle. I had to use a second lancet on a different finger to get a decent puncture for the blood to flow.

GBDisappointed The test was a little pricey but I loved the fact I could just return my sample in my mail box. My biggest disappointment was that my test was inconclusive, there was enough blood just one of my markers was a little elevated so I didn’t learn a thing from the test and wasted $80

GBVery frustrating Very frustrating. Sent 1st sample in and got no results for 2 weeks, so I contacted them. They said not enough blood was present, and sent me a 2nd test kit. They should have reached out to me 1st, but they did readily shipped 2nd kit. Tried 2nd test kit and followed all their tips - hot water, lancet location, etc. Very little blood came out, so I used the 2nd lancet with same result - the lancets are weak and don't produce enough blood. I ended up getting a sewing needle to stab into my finger to get enough blood and its still probably not enough. Previously, I completed another company's test kit for Omega-3 with a better lancet and an overabundance of blood droplets were produced where I was dripping blood all over the table, so its not me. Try upgrading your cheap lancets - if they don't produce blood, your test is useless.

GBNot Effective No matter what I do, I can't get enough blood for a sample. The first kit I bought was in April and I used all three lances to puncture three different fingers and put roughly 8 drops of blood on the sample collector but it wasn't enough. When i called the company because my results were inconclusive, they made it sound like it was my fault for how i completed the test. I literally did everything according to the instructions. The sample collector comes with a spot where you drop your blood on and then it's supposed to be absorbed and spread to another section of the collector. I had a small pool of blood at the collection spot (8 drops of blood while the instructions said i only needed 4 drops) and nothing was being absorbed or spread to where it needed to be. There was literally a dome of blood at the collection site but it wasn't being absorbed by the strip. They sent me another kit and I lanced three fingers again and still not enough blood to fill the sample collector. It was the same story as my first experiences. The instructions ask for 4 drops of blood at each collection spot and suggest that lances 2 and 3 are backup lances. My 8 drops of blood couldn't even fill one of the collections strips. I literally would need to slice open my hand in order to get enough blood for this collector. I give up...I'm just going to go to the doctor so that they can draw blood instead of me walked around with punctured fingers like a Shmuck.
