Home diagnostics — frequently asked questions

Can I really diagnose myself at home with a rapid test?

A rapid test screens for a single biomarker (a hormone, antigen, or antibody) and gives you a yes/no answer. It is a great first step to confirm or rule out a suspicion before booking a doctor — but it is not a full diagnosis. Always discuss a positive result with a physician.

What if my test result is positive?

Don't panic. A positive rapid test means the marker was detected, but does not confirm the disease — for example a positive H. pylori test means infection is likely, but treatment requires a prescription. Take a photo of the result, save the test box, and book a GP visit within a few days.

How do I know if I performed the test correctly?

Every iLabU test cassette has a control line (C) that must turn pink within the read time — if you see no C line, the test failed (too little sample, expired kit, wet cassette). The result is only valid when both the C line and the read window are clean.

Can a rapid test give a false result?

Yes, like any screening tool. False negatives happen when the sample is taken too early (e.g. ovulation test before the LH surge) or too diluted (urine after lots of water). False positives are rarer but possible with certain medications or cross-reactions. Always re-test if symptoms persist.

Do I need a doctor's referral to buy a rapid test?

No. All iLabU rapid tests are CE-IVD certified for self-testing — they are sold without prescription throughout the EU. The only exception are professional-use only tests, which we do not offer in the consumer catalogue.

How do I dispose of a used test?

Used tests are classified as low-risk biomedical waste at home. Place the cassette and used pipette into a sealed plastic bag, and discard with regular household waste. Do not flush, do not recycle. Wash hands with soap after handling any biological sample.
