Managing patients with allergy-like symptoms
ImmunoCAP Specific IgE blood test provides clinicians with an accurate and convenient method of helping to rule in or rule out allergy in patients with common allergy-like symptoms. Allergy profiles, offered by laboratories as pre-selected profiles, provide the ability to accurately identify and quantify specific common allergen sensitivities in patients with confrimed allergy.
Easy
A blood test is quick and simple. Unlike traditional skin-prick testing, an ImmunoCAP blood test can be performed without regard to the patient's age, skin condition, medication utilization, symptoms, disease activity and pregnancy.
Reliable
An ImmunoCAP test will help you rule in or rule out allergy as the cause of symptoms. When the results are positive, you are able to identify specific allergy triggers. Technical evidence clearly demonstrate that ImmunoCAP is the way to precisely measure IgE antibodies and consistently gives correct results.
Quantitative results
With ImmunoCAP allergens and allergen components, precise, quantitative, low-level detection of specific IgE antibodies is possible.
The quantitative result can help predict and follow the disease development, estimate the risk of a severe reaction and explain cross-reactivity.
The blood test is performed without procedure variations, and the results are of excellent standardization.
A final diagnosis of allergic disease should always be based on a combination of IgE test results and a patient's clinical history.
