Home active B12 test vs one done in hospital

Has anybody done a home active B12 fingerprick test, maybe got a lowish result, and then insisted on being referred on to the hospital for another active B12 test there? Did the results pretty much tally?

If you have a link to such a test, please share it. I've never heard of a home, finger-prick, active B12 test.

Thanks for the link. :) I'm wondering if the test is a new one or I've had my hypothyroid eyes in when I've looked at that website in the past!
