Cat dander contains the major allergen Fel d 1, produced in saliva and sebaceous glands and shed on skin flakes. It is small, sticky, and persistent in the environment — making it a common trigger of allergic rhinitis and asthma even in homes without cats.
Dog dander allergy is driven mainly by Can f 1 and other proteins found in saliva, urine, and skin. Dog allergens tend to be more variable between breeds than cat allergens but can still trigger significant respiratory and skin symptoms.
Silver birch pollen is the dominant tree pollen allergen in northern Europe. It causes spring hay fever and is the main driver of pollen-food syndrome (oral itching from raw apples, hazelnuts, stone fruits, and some vegetables).
Timothy grass is a major source of grass pollen allergy and a common cause of seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever) in the UK during late spring and summer. It is also the basis for many grass pollen immunotherapy preparations.
London Plane is included in this allergy panel to detect specific IgE antibodies. A positive result indicates sensitisation, which — combined with a clinical history of symptoms on exposure — supports the diagnosis of allergy. Testing helps identify trigger allergens so that informed avoidance and management decisions can be made.
Mugwort is included in this allergy panel to detect specific IgE antibodies. A positive result indicates sensitisation, which — combined with a clinical history of symptoms on exposure — supports the diagnosis of allergy. Testing helps identify trigger allergens so that informed avoidance and management decisions can be made.
Aspergillus fumigatus is included in this allergy panel to detect specific IgE antibodies. A positive result indicates sensitisation, which — combined with a clinical history of symptoms on exposure — supports the diagnosis of allergy. Testing helps identify trigger allergens so that informed avoidance and management decisions can be made.
Cladosporium herbarum is included in this allergy panel to detect specific IgE antibodies. A positive result indicates sensitisation, which — combined with a clinical history of symptoms on exposure — supports the diagnosis of allergy. Testing helps identify trigger allergens so that informed avoidance and management decisions can be made.
Alternaria alternata is included in this allergy panel to detect specific IgE antibodies. A positive result indicates sensitisation, which — combined with a clinical history of symptoms on exposure — supports the diagnosis of allergy. Testing helps identify trigger allergens so that informed avoidance and management decisions can be made.
Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus is the most common house dust mite worldwide and a major trigger of perennial allergic rhinitis, asthma, and atopic dermatitis. Dust mites live in bedding, carpets, and soft furnishings; their faecal pellets contain the main allergenic proteins.
Peanut is one of the most clinically significant food allergens because reactions tend to be severe and lifelong. Even tiny amounts can trigger anaphylaxis in sensitised individuals, making accurate testing essential.
Egg white contains the most allergenic egg proteins (ovomucoid, ovalbumin, ovotransferrin, lysozyme). Egg allergy is most common in young children and can trigger eczema flare-ups, urticaria, gastrointestinal symptoms, and anaphylaxis in sensitised individuals.
Cow's milk allergy is one of the most common food allergies in childhood and may also persist into adulthood. Reactions are driven by IgE antibodies to milk proteins (mainly casein, alpha-lactalbumin, and beta-lactoglobulin) and can range from mild skin rashes to severe systemic reactions.
This test is for screening and information only — it is not a medical diagnosis or professional advice. Please have your results reviewed by a qualified doctor or healthcare provider who can explain what they mean for your personal health situation. If your results show anything outside the normal range, or if you're worried about your health, see your doctor as soon as you can. Don't change any medications or treatments based on these results alone — always talk to your healthcare provider first.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Unlike skin prick tests, blood-based IgE allergy tests are not affected by antihistamines, steroids, or inhalers. You can continue all your regular medications and still get accurate results.
A positive IgE result means your immune system has produced antibodies to that allergen (sensitisation). However, sensitisation does not always cause clinical symptoms. Results should be interpreted alongside your symptom history, ideally with a GP or allergy specialist.
No. Allergy blood tests are not affected by recent food intake.
Yes. This panel tests for common environmental allergens including grass and tree pollens, house dust mites, mould spores, and animal dander. Identifying your specific triggers allows more targeted treatment and avoidance strategies.
Yes. Identifying specific allergen triggers helps your doctor optimise your asthma treatment plan and consider allergen-specific immunotherapy if appropriate.
