This test measures the exact level of antibodies in your blood to see if you are immune to Hep B. Since prices can vary, check online labs first because some offer it much cheaper than big hospitals. It is good to plan and compare before booking.

My doctor explained that the 'surf ab quant' test measures the exact titer of surface antibodies. If the number is above 10 mIU/mL, it means you have active protection from the vaccine. Anything below means you might need a booster shot.

This test simply measures the strength of your immunity against the virus. While clean living and gentle breathing exercises keep our energy high, these scientific tests are wonderful to know our body's true protective levels. Do show the results to your doctor.

From what I have read, 'quant' means quantitative, so it measures the exact number of antibodies you have. Since I have PCOS, I always get my lab results checked by a physician rather than guessing. It is much safer that way.
