IgE Total IgE Screen Elevated levels of IgE have been tied to an immediate allergic response. Clients usually add this panel to Bloodprint® and Specific Trigger Panel orders. Get safely tested today and find out if you have an allergy. Easily add a Total IgE test to any venipuncture blood serum test we offer and find out if you have elevated IgE, which may indicate a need for specific IgE testing. Fastest Certified Lab Results In The Industry Once our lab receives your specimen, results will be completed in 48-72 hours. Results are available on our online portal for physicians and emailed as an easy-to-read PDF. Total IgE Compared To Traditional Allergy Tests Total IgE Blood Serum Test by Immuno Labs Our Total IgE Screen requires a simple venipuncture sample of blood serum using a serum separator tube (SST). We efficiently utilize 3mL of serum to conduct our Total IgE analysis and conclude if IgE levels are elevated by measuring the total amount of circulating IgE. The IgE antibodies can appear as a result of sensitization to allergens. In many patients suffering from asthma, rhinitis, or atopic dermatitis due to allergy, the concentration of total IgE may be elevated. The laboratory equipmentwe utilize has more than 50 years of experience in allergen production and specific IgE product development. Their products are documented in more than 6,000 publications and referenced in multiple health guidelines. These may be some of the reasons why the laboratory equipment and technology used is acknowledged asthe gold standard technology for IgE blood testing. One simple blood draw without exposing the individual to the potentiallyharmful, reactive allergens to determine if they even have any IgE allergicreactions. An economical investment to determine whether or not further testing is necessary. Peace of mind knowing whether or not seasonal pollens, common food, or other allergens may even be triggering an inflammatory response. Our Total IgE Screen can be setup as a Reflex Test, which means that if the Total IgE results show elevated IgE then we can use the already provided sample to run additional specific IgE panels. No additional blood draw and fast results for the additional panel(s). Traditional Allergy Test(Skin Prick, Puncture Test, or Scratch Test) Traditional allergy tests will use a skin prick test, also called a puncture or scratch test, that will check for immediate allergic reactions to one or many differentallergens at once by using a lancet to penetrate the skin’s surface. It can be uncomfortable and if a severe reaction occurs may require additional medical inventions to control the reaction. The reactivity level is arbitrarily determined using a handheld gauge to measure how much of a “welt” your skin produced to determine how allergic you are to the item or if you are even allergic. Takes a long time to determine reactivity to multiple foodsMay trigger a severe allergic reaction if reactivity is unknownUsually not performed to determine dietary food allergiesHigh rate of false positives due to the nature of puncturing the skin and arbitrarily measuring the reaction
