ALEX Allergy Explorer
The ALEX Allergy Explorer is a broad allergy blood test that measures IgE antibodies to a wide range of allergens. It suits people whose triggers are unclear.
What this test is for
The ALEX Allergy Explorer is an allergy blood test that looks at many possible triggers in a single sample. It measures total IgE, the overall level of the antibody linked to allergy, and specific IgE antibodies to each allergen on the panel. Please ask us for the full list of allergens covered before you book.
Sneezing, itchy eyes, skin rashes or reactions after eating can have many triggers, and this panel helps when the cause is not clear. It also suits anyone wanting a broad first look.
Your report shows total IgE and a level for each allergen. An allergy blood test shows sensitisation, meaning your body has made IgE to something, which is not the same as having an allergy to it. Results should be read with your history by a clinician before you change what you eat or avoid.
