How It Works
  • Receive your test kit in the post.
  • Clean your finger and use the finger prick lancet to release blood.
  • Fill the capillary dropper with blood up to the black line.
  • Squeeze the blood into the sample well on the test cassette.
  • Allow the blood to absorb and add two drops of single use buffer to the sample well.
  • Wait 10 minutes for the results to appear. NOTE: Do not interpret before 10 minutes or after 20 minutes as the results may be inaccurate.

It is a rapid test for the detection of hypothyroidism. TSH rapid test assesses the presence of elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone TSH, >5μIU/mL levels in a whole blood sample. The thyroid plays a central role in the control of your metabolism.

In this test procedure, the anti-TSH antibody is immobilised in the test line region and coated particles, respectively. After a specimen is added to the specimen well of the device, it reacts with anti-TSH antibody-coated particles in the test. This mixture migrates chromatographically along the length of the test and interacts with the immobilised anti-TSH antibody. Positive specimens react with the specific anti-TSH antibody-coated particles to form a coloured line at the test line region of the membrane.

What is your thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level?

The thyroid gland is delicate in its function.

When the anterior pituitary gland produces thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) that stimulates the thyroid gland. If the thyroid gland isn’t functioning properly, hypothyroidism can occur, leading to high TSH levels.

Hypothyroidism can lead to you feeling sluggish and/or depressed, your skin feeling dry and coarse, constipation or feeling cold all the time. Hashimoto’s disease is the most common autoimmune disease to cause an underactive thyroid and people may even increase their risk of developing certain cancers.

How can a Thyroid Test help me?

Hypothyroidism is often underestimated in its importance – but it shouldn’t be. Our thyroid tests will help to understand whether you’re overproducing TSH.

This screening test works by checking your blood. You’ll need to use a blood sample with our at-home kit, you’ll get results to assess whether you’re producing too much.

Science

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (also known as thyrotropin, thyrotropic hormone, TSH, or hTSH for human TSH) is a pituitary hormone that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine (T4) and then triiodothyronine (T3) which stimulates the metabolism of almost every tissue in the body (1).

It is a glycoprotein hormone synthesised and secreted by thyrotrope cells in the anterior pituitary gland, which regulates the endocrine function of the thyroid (2).

TSH (with a half-life of about an hour) stimulates the thyroid gland to secrete the hormone thyroxine (T4), which has only a slight effect on metabolism.

T4 is converted to triiodothyronine (T3), which is the active hormone that stimulates metabolism. About 80% of this conversion is in the liver and other organs, and 20% in the thyroid itself (1).
