Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
This test (branded as Test4B12) is a rapid, quantitative assay that measures the exact level of vitamin B12 in your blood using just one drop. Results are displayed within about 10 minutes using NanoSpeed’s calibrated “cube reader” technology.
A vitamin B12 blood test measures the level of vitamin B12 in your blood. It helps assess nutritional status and diagnose deficiencies that can lead to fatigue, nerve issues, or anemia.
This test is used when symptoms like fatigue, memory problems, numbness, or anemia appear. It’s also helpful for those at risk—such as vegetarians, older adults, or people with digestive conditions.
In Canada, you can get tested at clinics, labs, or by using a home test kit like NanoSpeed’s Test4B12. It’s fast, requires just one drop of blood, and gives results in about 10 minutes.
No special preparation is usually needed. However, inform your doctor about any supplements or medications, as they may affect your results. For home tests, follow the included instructions carefully.
This is a laboratory‑style quantitative test with a detection range of 125 to 950 pg/mL. While rapid and convenient, its results should be interpreted in consultation with a healthcare professional, especially if your result is near the limits of the range.
| Inside the box you will find: |
| Test4B12 cassette |
| Buffer vial |
| Transfer pipette |
| Lancet (for obtaining the blood drop) |
| Instruction pamphlet / user manual |
| Clean your finger (or other approved site) with an alcohol swab. |
| Use the lancet to draw a drop of blood. |
| Use the pipette to transfer the blood to the test cassette. |
| Add the buffer as described in the instructions. |
| Insert or place the cassette into the cube reader. |
| Wait ~10 minutes for the quantitative result display. |
| Make sure to follow the step‑by‑step instructions included in the kit for best accuracy. |
No prescription is required to use the kit. However, because the results can have medically relevant implications, it is strongly recommended that you share your results with your physician or qualified healthcare provider for proper interpretation and advice.
| The result is given in pg/mL (picograms per millilitre). |
| A “normal” range varies somewhat by laboratory, but in general values between ~200–900 pg/mL are often considered within normal limits (consult guidelines and your health provider). |
| If your reading is below 125 pg/mL, it indicates low B12 (deficiency). If above 950 pg/mL, it’s above the measurable range of the test. |
| Always compare your result with reference ranges provided by your physician or local Canadian lab. |

| If your result is in the normal range and you have no symptoms, maintain healthy nutrition and periodic monitoring as advised. |
| If your result is low or borderline, consult a healthcare professional. They may order follow-up laboratory tests (e.g. methylmalonic acid, homocysteine, full B12 panel) or recommend supplementation. |
| Avoid making any changes in vitamin B12 supplementation solely on this result without medical advice. |
