Make Your Own Arrangements: You're welcome to arrange collection with any qualified phlebotomist or clinic of your choice.

Understanding Your Results

Results show specific IgE levels (kUA/L) classified from Class 0–6:

Class 0: Negative (<0.35) Class 1: Low (0.35–0.69) Class 2–3: Moderate (0.70–17.49) Class 4–6: High (≥17.50)

Note: Positive results indicate sensitisation, not necessarily clinical allergy. Interpret with your healthcare provider alongside symptoms.

Special Instructions

No Fasting Required: You can eat and drink normally before your blood draw.

Antihistamines: You can continue taking antihistamines—they do not affect IgE blood test results.

Steroids: Long-term oral steroids may lower IgE levels. Discuss with your doctor if you're on steroid medication.

Timing: Collect your sample Monday–Wednesday to ensure it reaches the lab promptly. Avoid posting before bank holidays.

Medical Disclaimer

This test measures IgE antibodies to multiple food and inhalant allergens. Results indicate sensitisation but should be interpreted alongside your clinical symptoms and medical history. A positive result does not automatically mean you will experience symptoms when exposed to that allergen.

This test is suitable for initial screening and monitoring but is not a substitute for clinical allergy assessment. For suspected severe allergies or history of anaphylaxis, we recommend consulting an allergy specialist.

Venous Blood Sample: This test requires a venous blood sample taken by a phlebotomist. Phlebotomy charges may apply.

Antihistamines: Blood-based IgE tests are not affected by antihistamines. Continue all regular medications.

No Fasting Required.
