This product is a home blood test kit that checks for IgE-mediated sensitivities to common allergens found in the UK. It screens for reactions to two major food mixes (e.g. wheat, milk, peanut, etc.), a grass pollen mix, and specific individual allergens (cat dander, dog dander, house dust mite, latex, fish). The test helps you identify likely allergy triggers causing symptoms like itching, sneezing, rashes, or respiratory irritation.
Tests a broad panel of UK-common allergens to help pinpoint triggers
Useful for people with unexplained allergic symptoms or suspected food/environmental sensitivities
Enables better dietary, household, or lifestyle adjustments to reduce allergic reactions
Convenient at-home sampling with immunology lab analysis
A positive IgE result indicates sensitisation but does not always correlate with clinical symptoms
A negative result does not guarantee absence of allergy; some reactions may be non-IgE mediated
This test is for informational purposes only and does not replace medical evaluation
Interpretation should be done by a qualified healthcare professional
All samples are processed by accredited immunology laboratories

There are several types of allergic conditions, this test looks specifically for the triggers for Immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated allergies. This type of allergic reaction typically develops quickly after encountering an allergen, and can cause hives, itching and lip or facial swelling. This test looks for IgE reactions to the following substances which are common causes of allergy in the UK: Food Mix: Cod Cows Milk Egg White Soya Bean Peanut Wheat Grass Mix: Cocksfoot Meadow Fescue Meadow Rye Timothy Individual Allergens: Cat Dander Cladosporium Herbarum Dog Dander House Dust Mite Latex Fish: Cod
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.
