This test is the UK’s most comprehensive allergy panel with 295 allergens tested. Utilising innovative microarray technology it analyses the widest range of allergens availablie in any profile – all with one blood sample. The sample can even be a finger-prick home kit, which is a remarkable advance in technology.
One in four of us have allergies, causing conditions like hay fever, asthma, eczema and a range of digestive problems. Anyone with an allergy knows how miserable life can be when they strike.
Sometimes the allergy can have profound unexpected affects on our lives. For example, it is estimated that during a hay-fever attack your IQ can be reduced by 5% – along with the awful way it makes you feel.
Knowing what you are allergic to can transform your life as treatments are available, and if there is no treatment you at least know what to avoid.
This test analyses molecules as well individual allergens so that it also checks for cross-reactivity between different allergens which is very important part of allergy testing.
