Panel

Allergy Panel 19, Seafood Group

$52.49

This in vitro allergen-specific IgE panel is used to quantitatively measure an individual's IgE response to 6 different seafood that are commonly associated with allergies. These shellfish include codfish, crab, lobster, salmon, shrimp, and tuna. This IgE panel is intended to be used in conjunction with other clinical information to aid in the diagnosis of food allergies [1].

Sample type: Serum
Avg. sample processing time: 5 Business days

Biomarkers

Food and Tree Nut Allergy Panel

$147.99

This panel tests for specific IgE antibodies to 17 foods (with an emphasis on tree nuts) that are commonly associated with allergies. Allergen-specific serum IgE testing is considered comparable to skin testing and may be preferred in some clinical situations. However, a positive test result only indicates that a patient is sensitized to the allergen of concern. Many IgE-sensitized individuals do not develop any symptoms when exposed to the allergen. A diagnosis of allergy should only be made by a trained medical provider after conducting a thorough clinical evaluation.

Sample type: Serum
