Hi Ilfc,

I do not know a location in Canada to have active B12 tested, but perhaps if you contact this person see the link below; they may be able to help you further:

prweb.com/releases/2013/12/...

"Axis-Shield Diagnostic Limited an international provider of in vitro diagnostic reagents, announces that it has concluded a licensing, development and supply arrangement with Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, a global leader in clinical diagnostics headquartered in Tarrytown, New York, to incorporate its proprietary ActiveB12 (HoloTranscobalamin) test for the diagnosis of Vitamin B12 deficiency on the Siemens ADVIA Centaur Immunoassay System. "

Kind regards,

Marre.

I am from the US and have been desperately searching for an active B12 HoloTC test. I contacted both Siemens and Abbott labs and both say there is no active B12 test available in the USA. I have also been trying to get a hold of Axis Shield but haven't been able to yet. I am currently looking into Canada

Sanders1,

This says it is available - and that is as far as I have read!

I am in Halifax and here we have Capital Health which covers the entire region. They will do the B12 MMA test but have no listing for a B12 Active Test in their book.
