Skip the wait. Check for bowel cancer from home.
ColoAlert® is an advanced at-home stool test that checks for blood and DNA markers linked to bowel (colorectal) cancer and pre-cancerous changes — so you can get clarity sooner, privately.
What ColoAlert® checks
ColoAlert® combines stool blood detection with DNA analysis to look for markers associated with colorectal cancer and pre-cancerous polyps — a step beyond the standard FIT test.
Who this test is for
People who want clarity sooner — especially when NHS appointments are delayed or symptoms are worrying.
- Are 45+ or nearing screening age
- Have noticed changes in bowel habits
- Have seen blood in your stool
- Have a family history of bowel cancer or polyps
- Want reassurance while waiting for an appointment

How it works
FAQ
Is ColoAlert® a diagnosis?
No — it's a screening-style test that gives risk insight. If results or symptoms suggest concern, follow up with a healthcare professional.
How is it different from the NHS FIT test?
It adds DNA marker analysis alongside the blood (FIT) test, looking at more signals associated with bowel cancer and pre-cancer.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can order directly and take the sample at home.
How long do results take?
Typically 10–14 days after the laboratory receives your sample.
