This product is a home blood test kit that screens for IgE antibodies to common nuts and seeds. It helps detect whether your immune system reacts specifically to these foods, which may contribute to symptoms such as itching, swelling, digestive issues, or respiratory signs when consuming nuts or seeds.
Identifies sensitisation to nuts and seeds, helping clarify possible allergy triggers
Useful when symptoms point toward food sensitivity but suspect foods are unclear
Guides elimination diets or referral for further allergy testing
Convenient at-home sampling with immunology laboratory analysis
A positive IgE result indicates sensitisation but not necessarily a clinical allergy — symptoms must match for diagnosis
False positives or cross-reactivity with related foods/nuts/seeds can occur
This test is for informational use only and does not replace medical assessment
Interpretation of results should be done by a qualified healthcare professional
All samples are processed by accredited immunology laboratories

Immunoglobulins or antibodies, play an important role in the immune system and help fight against harmful bacteria and viruses in the body. There are five classes of antibodies and several subclasses. In those that have an allergy, their immune system overreacts to a harmless allergen (such as food, grass or animal dander) by producing IgE. This reaction usually causes irritation to the nose, lungs, throat and skin. The allergen-specific IgE antibody test is used to check for an allergy to a specific allergen. It measures the amount of IgE antibody in the blood targeted for a suspected allergen.
