I use bio card to check mine, using a finger prick test. Results back in 48hrs. It doesn’t give you a number, which to me is meaningless. Mine showed a strong response to the vaccine, consistent with having 2 doses. This is despite taking 5 immunosuppressants and 2 steroid inhalers. It’s costs £45 at the moment normally £95

Sorry I can’t help but would really like to know if you find name and email of such a lab and if you do pass it on to me. Thank you (if you can) and I am sure others would be interested too.

I have used MonitorMyHealth for other tests. They run out of the NHS Lab in Exeter, so every medic I know is happy they are appropriately set up for the tests the offer.

Looking today, they appear to do a range of COVID antibody tests: monitormyhealth.org.uk/?gcl...

This test doesn't provide a numerical value either.

Thanks I'll look into it though I'm looking for serum black mould tests ranging through assorted species of aspergillus etc
