Free testing with a donation
Goodlabs partners with participating blood donation centers to offer free health testing with eligible blood donations. Schedule your donation through Goodlabs, visit the selected donor center, and let the staff know you’re a Goodlabs donor. The blood samples needed for your free Goodlabs testing will be collected during the same donation visit, so there is no separate appointment or separate blood draw required. After your eligible donation is completed, your selected tests will be processed and your results will be available in your Goodlabs account.
Schedule a donationYes, when it comes with an eligible blood donation. There is no charge for the included testing and no subscription is required. Testing without a donation is paid, and you only pay for the tests you choose.
No. You do not need to visit your doctor or obtain a separate order to receive the free testing offered through the Goodlabs donation program.
You can choose one available donation panel or up to two eligible individual tests. The available options are shown when you book your donation through Goodlabs. Please note that free donation panels include a more limited set of tests than the paid versions of Goodlabs panels.
Learn about free testing with a donationIt depends on the donation center. Eligible whole-blood donors at Vitalant, Inova, Bloodworks Northwest, and LifeStream can generally receive free testing every 56 days. At Blood Assurance, free testing is available every 6 months, up to two times per calendar year. Donation eligibility is determined by the donation center at each visit.

Learn how to upload past resultsDonation eligibility
Eligibility is determined by the donor center using its current donation policies and screening requirements. You’ll complete an eligibility screening before donating, and the donor center makes the final decision about whether you can donate that day.
Read the blood donation FAQMany people who take medications may still be eligible to donate. Eligibility depends on the medication, why you take it, and the donor center’s current guidelines. The donor center will review this with you during screening and make the final eligibility decision.
Read the blood donation FAQMost likely. Travel or time spent living abroad does not automatically mean you cannot donate. Eligibility depends on factors such as where and when you traveled and the donor center’s current guidelines. The donor center will review your travel history during screening.
Read the blood donation FAQThe donor center will check whether you meet its hemoglobin requirements before you donate. If your level does not meet the requirement that day, you may be deferred from donating and can ask the donor center when you may be eligible to try again.
Read the blood donation FAQYes. Donors generally need to weigh at least 110 lbs (50 kg). Additional eligibility requirements may apply depending on the donor and type of donation, and the donor center will confirm eligibility during screening.
Read the blood donation FAQNot necessarily. Some deferrals are temporary, while others may have different requirements. A previous deferral does not automatically mean you are currently ineligible. The donor center will apply its current policies and determine your eligibility.
Read the blood donation FAQIf the donor center determines that you cannot donate that day, the donation will not be completed. Because free Goodlabs testing is tied to completing an eligible blood donation, your free tests will not be processed from that appointment.

Enter your ZIP code on the donation booking page to see participating locations available near you. Goodlabs currently works with select Vitalant, Inova, Blood Assurance, Bloodworks Northwest, and LifeStream donor centers.
Find a location near youYes. An appointment is required for the Goodlabs donation program. Please schedule through Goodlabs so your donation and free testing are properly connected. Walk-ins are not eligible for free Goodlabs testing.
You can manage or reschedule your donation appointment through your Goodlabs account. Availability will depend on the donor center and appointment times available in your area.
Log in to your accountThe actual blood draw typically takes about 8 to 10 minutes. The entire visit, including registration, eligibility screening, the donation, and refreshments and recovery afterward, usually takes about one hour. Visit times may vary by donor center.
No. Unless you’ve been given different instructions for a specific reason, you should not fast for your blood donation. Eat normally beforehand, stay well hydrated, and follow any preparation instructions provided by the donor center.
Let the donor center staff know before your donation. They are experienced in helping donors who are nervous about needles or have concerns about dizziness or fainting and can help you through the donation process.
Donation, results and privacy
Your donation is managed by the blood donation center. After collection, donated blood is processed according to the center’s procedures and may be used to help patients who need blood products.
The donor center asks health and lifestyle questions to help determine whether donating is safe for you and whether the donated blood meets current requirements for use. The donor center uses its current screening policies to make the final eligibility decision.
Most results are available within 2–6 business days, although some specialty tests may take longer. Results may be released at different times rather than all at once. You can view them in your Goodlabs account as they become available.
