Determines your ABO blood group (A, B, AB, or O) and your Rhesus (Rh) factor.
Overview: The Genotype Blood Test identifies your haemoglobin genotype, such as AA, AS, AC, SS or SC. It shows whether you carry the sickle cell or haemoglobin C gene. Your genotype stays the same throughout your life, so one test gives you a result you can keep. It’s useful before marriage, when planning a family, or if you’ve never been tested. No GP referral or fasting is needed.
Add-On Offer: Add a Blood Group Test for £89 instead of £105 when you book it with your Genotype Blood Test. The saving is applied automatically in your basket.
Laboratory Processing: Simple, accurate blood test analysed in a UK laboratory, with professional support available if required.
Turnaround Time: Results are usually available the next working day, depending on the time the sample is taken and received by the laboratory. Timeframes are indicative and may vary according to processing and validation requirements.
If you can’t find the test you’re looking for, simply give us a call and our support team will guide you to the right option. We’re here to ensure you get the correct test quickly and confidently.

Many adults in the UK do not know their blood type. A blood group test tells you your ABO blood group and your RhD status, so you have a clear result to keep for your own records.
Your blood type combines your ABO group (A, B, AB or O) with your RhD status (positive or negative). Your result will show one of these eight types.
A antigens, RhD positive
A antigens, RhD negative
B antigens, RhD positive
B antigens, RhD negative
A and B antigens, RhD positive
A and B antigens, RhD negative
No A or B antigens, RhD positive
No A or B antigens, RhD negative
O and A are the most common blood groups in the UK. Whatever your result, there is no “better” blood type – it is simply useful to know yours.
Knowing your blood type is useful personal health information. It can also help you understand family results, or support decisions such as becoming a blood donor.
Please note that hospitals always carry out their own blood group and compatibility checks before any transfusion, so your result is for your own information and records.
Your blood group cannot tell you your genotype, and your genotype cannot tell you your blood group. If you want to know both, you need both tests.
| Blood Group Test | Genotype Blood Test | |
|---|---|---|
| What it checks | Your ABO group (A, B, AB or O) and RhD status | Your haemoglobin type, such as AA, AS, AC, SS or SC |
| Why people test | Knowing your blood type for your own records | Carrier status, family planning, marriage |
| Example result | O positive | AS (sickle cell carrier) |

There is very little you need to do before a blood group test.
A blood group test shows your ABO blood group (A, B, AB or O) and whether you are RhD positive or negative. Together these give your blood type, for example O positive or A negative.
Our Blood Group Test is £105. If you book it with the Genotype Blood Test in the Genotype + Blood Group Test bundle, the Blood Group Test is £89 and both tests cost £179.
There are eight main blood types: A positive, A negative, B positive, B negative, AB positive, AB negative, O positive and O negative. O and A are the most common blood groups in the UK.
No. Your blood group is inherited from your parents and normally stays the same throughout your life. It can only change in rare situations, such as after a bone marrow or stem cell transplant.
No. Your blood group describes your ABO group and RhD status, such as O positive. Your genotype describes your haemoglobin type, such as AA or AS. They are separate tests, and one cannot tell you the other.
No. You can eat and drink as normal before the test.
No. You can book a private blood group test directly online without a referral.
No. Hospitals always test your blood group and check compatibility themselves before any transfusion. Your result is for your own information and records.
If you are RhD negative and your baby is RhD positive, your body can make antibodies that affect future pregnancies. Your midwife will check your blood group as part of antenatal care and can offer treatment if needed.
Yes. Book the Genotype + Blood Group Test bundle for £179. The Blood Group Test costs £89 in the bundle instead of £105.
