Food Allergy Testing
Accurately identifying IgE-mediated allergies is critical, with reactions ranging in severity from mild to life-threatening.
Panels To Ensure a Safe Diet
Food and cuisine create a beautiful foundation for cultures around the world. Depending on regionality, ethnicity, personal preferences, and more, the foods that make up an individual's diet can vary greatly. To ensure our practitioners have access to food allergy panels that fit the diets of their patients and address as many relevant antigens as possible, US BioTek has developed twelve unique allergy panels.
Testing Information
Our IgE panels utilize a quantitative ELISA (enzyme linked immunosorbant assay) analysis of the specific immunoglobin IgE identified for the chosen diet panels’ food and spice analytes.
We follow a meticulous process to extract the critical component from each analyte (food and inhalant trigger) to ensure the antibody present in the patients’ sample will bind properly and validate results with positive and negative controls. Once attached to the antigens, antibodies are detected through spectrophotometric analysis, where the values are directly proportional to the concentration of the analytes in the sample. For additional accuracy, we perform duplicate testing to ensure there are no discrepancies.
Dried Blood Spot Collection
The dried blood spot collection method utilizes a simple finger prick and collection card. This method is ideal drop shipping to telehealth patients and clinics without venipuncture capabilities.
Serum Collection
The serum collection method requires a modest blood draw.
Microtainer
The Microtainer method requires collection of 600 mcl of blood
