Immunology & Genetics: Precision Diagnostics for Complex Health

At AvoVita, we specialize in providing the high-fidelity data required to navigate complex health journeys. The field of Immunology and Genetics represents the frontier of personalized medicine—it is where we look beyond surface-level symptoms to understand the underlying cellular, viral, and genetic drivers of wellness and disease.

Our diagnostic suite is designed for Calgary residents and healthcare practitioners who demand world-class accuracy. By facilitating advanced testing through Mayo Clinic Laboratories and specialized partners like ReligenDX and C₂N Diagnostics, we bring the most sophisticated clinical markers—from Alzheimer’s biomarkers to folate receptor antibodies—directly to you. We eliminate the administrative barriers of the traditional system, allowing you to secure laboratory-verified data on your own timeline with total independence.

Private Immunology and Genetics Testing Calgary

Core Testing Pillars

We provide a streamlined path to high-complexity testing. Each of the following diagnostics is handled with the highest level of clinical care and technical precision:

  • FRAT® (Folate Receptor Antibody Test): A specialized screen by ReligenDX to detect blocking and binding antibodies that can interfere with folate transport to the brain.
  • PrecivityAD2™ – Alzheimer’s Disease Blood Test: A breakthrough diagnostic from C₂N Diagnostics that utilizes p-tau and amyloid-beta ratios to provide an early, objective assessment of Alzheimer’s pathology.
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis Panel: A comprehensive assessment of autoimmune markers, including RF and Anti-CCP, to identify the root causes of joint inflammation.
  • Immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, and IgM): A detailed snapshot of your body’s total antibody production and humoral immune performance.
  • Interleukin-6 (IL-6DX): A precise measurement of this key inflammatory cytokine, used as a marker for systemic inflammation and immune response.
  • Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF): A critical marker for assessing factors related to blood vessel growth, angiogenesis, and tissue repair.
  • Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Antibody Profile: A deep-dive into your viral history to differentiate between past exposure and active infection.
  • Acute Viral Hepatitis Profile: A rapid, comprehensive screen for Hepatitis A, B, and C to assess liver health and viral status.
  • Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Varicella (MMRV) Antibody: Verify your long-term immunity and "immune memory" for these core viral markers.
  • Varicella-Zoster Antibody (IgG and IgM): Specific testing for the chickenpox and shingles virus to assess infection or immunity.
  • Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) Type 1 and Type 2: Site-specific IgG antibody testing for discreet and accurate viral identification.
  • HIV-1 and HIV-2 Antigen/Antibody Screen: Fourth-generation testing for confidential and highly accurate detection.
  • Syphilis IgG with Reflex: A professional screening process that automatically triggers secondary verification if a primary marker is detected.
  • Poliovirus (Types 1, 3) Antibodies: Specialized neutralization testing to assess immunity levels.
  • Organic Acids Screen (Random, Urine): A metabolic "snapshot" used to identify cellular dysfunction, mitochondrial health, and nutritional markers.

A Commitment to Total Privacy & Independence

We recognize that genetic and immune data is the most sensitive information you possess. To ensure your absolute discretion, AvoVita operates as a strictly independent private diagnostic provider. We are not affiliated with public health authorities, and we do not participate in government-run provincial database tracking or public health reporting for these specialized tests.

Your diagnostic journey remains 100% confidential. This independence ensures that you retain exclusive ownership of your health information, allowing you to secure world-class insights from Mayo Clinic Laboratories while maintaining the highest level of personal privacy and data autonomy.

Frigid Fun – A Plunge Into The World Of Ice Baths!

It’s become quite mainstream and it seems like many popular influencers have posted at least once about taking the plunge – either for health/recovery reasons, or just plain old bragging rights.

In this blog post, I’ll dive into the advantages of incorporating ice baths into your routine and explore how they can enhance your physical well-being.

Everything You Need to Know About Private Blood Testing

No we are not connected with provincial health or any other organizations, this is 100% private testing. No requisition is needed (with the exception of cancer screening and prenatal genetic tests), you pay for the tests you want and the PDF results are securely emailed to you. You can download them and do with them as you please. 

Different tests have different turnaround times, and we generally tell people to expect a result window of 3-10 days, depending on when your blood draw is completed. We ship specimens on Wednesdays, and so a blood draw on a Tuesday would result much faster than a blood draw on a Thursday which would have to wait 6 days before shipping. 

No we are 100% private, anyone can access our tests you do not require provincial health coverage or even Canadian citizenship.

Our third party home services provider is familiar with and comfortable with collections on children. We leave it to the discretion of the parent, and our third party provider if a draw on a child will be acceptable. 

Each test has its own price, which can be found by clicking the book now link on our site. We do not offer multi test discounts, the price of each test remains the same regardless of the number of test purchased. You can pick and choose whichever tests you like to meet your needs.
