empowerDX: at-home radon, water and lab test kits with free shipping

Shopping at empowerDX? See all current empowerDX promo codes and deals, checked regularly.

empowerDX sells self-collected test kits that you use at home and mail back to a lab. The range has two sides. Home safety tests check for radon gas and for what's in your drinking water. The health tests cover things like vitamin levels, cholesterol, hormones and genetic markers, using a finger-prick blood sample or a cheek swab. There are about 25 tests in all, and empowerDX says its labs are CLIA-certified, results arrive in a HIPAA-compliant online portal, and its tests are eligible for HSA and FSA spending.

It suits people who want to test on their own schedule without booking an appointment: homeowners, renters checking a new place, and anyone curious about a specific measurement. A results report tells you what was measured. It isn't a diagnosis, so take anything that worries you to your doctor.

What's worth a look

Here are six from the full test range, with the prices on each test's page when we checked.

The cheapest way in is the Standard Radon Test at $19.99. You leave a passive sampler in your home for 48 to 96 hours, then post it back with any carrier, and results come 3 to 5 business days after the lab gets it. The lab is NRPP certified and EPA listed. For drinking water, the Pro Water Test at $199 checks 63 indicators, including heavy metals, bacteria, nutrients and minerals, at an EPA- and NELAP-certified lab, with prepaid return shipping and results within 5 business days.

On the health side, the finger-prick tests such as the Vitamin B12 + Folate Test and the Premium Heart Health Test need you to fast for 8 hours before you collect, so read each test's instructions before you open the kit. The process is the same for most tests: order online, collect your sample at home, mail it to the lab, and read your results in the secure online portal. The Premium Heart Health Test, which measures 10 markers, gives results within 48 hours of the lab receiving your sample, while the Omega DX and B12 tests take 4 to 5 days and come with a physician-reviewed test guide.

Current offers

• Free shipping on test kits.

Free shipping covers getting the kit to you. Some tests include prepaid return postage too (the water and finger-prick tests say so), while the Standard Radon Test asks you to pay to post it back.

How to save more

• Pick the Standard Radon Test over the Express one unless you're in a hurry. The Express Radon Test is $39.99, $20 more, for prepaid return shipping and faster results.
• Choose the water test that matches your question. The PFAS Water Test ($299) looks only at 29 PFAS compounds, while the Pro Water Test ($199) covers general water quality. You may not need both.
• Use HSA or FSA funds for eligible tests, and try the free health quiz on the site if you're not sure which test fits.
