Overview of the Allergy Test with Interpretation Test
The Allergy Test with Interpretation is a comprehensive molecular allergy blood test assessing 98 allergen components using specific IgE testing.
The test looks for IgE antibodies associated with immediate-type allergic sensitisation across a broad range of food and environmental allergen sources.
Unlike testing based only on whole allergen extracts, molecular allergy testing can examine responses to individual allergenic proteins or protein families.
This can provide additional information about sensitisation patterns, potential cross-reactivity and which allergen sources may be clinically relevant.
The panel includes allergen components associated with fruits and vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, animals, pollens, house-dust mites, mould and animal-derived foods.
The standard pathway uses a convenient finger-prick blood sample.
Your report includes the laboratory findings together with interpretation and personalised recommendations.
A positive specific IgE result means sensitisation has been detected.
It does not automatically prove that exposure to that allergen causes symptoms, so laboratory findings should always be considered alongside your reaction history.
The Allergy Test with Interpretation costs £139.

Salmon allergen components - Assesses salmon-related fish allergen sensitisation.
Who May Benefit From the Allergy Test with Interpretation Test?
The Allergy Test with Interpretation may be useful for people experiencing recurring symptoms that could be associated with an IgE-mediated allergy and who want broader molecular testing rather than one individual allergen test.
People with recurrent sneezing or nasal congestion - Environmental allergens such as pollens, mites, moulds or animals can contribute to allergic rhinitis symptoms.
People with itchy or watery eyes - Eye symptoms can accompany airborne allergen exposure.
People with suspected food allergy symptoms - Molecular food allergen testing can provide additional information where reactions occur after particular foods.
People with hives or recurring itchy skin reactions - IgE-mediated allergy is one possible cause that may warrant investigation.
People whose symptoms change with the seasons - The panel includes several important pollen allergen sources.
People who experience symptoms around animals - Cat, dog, horse, rabbit, mouse and guinea pig allergens are included.
People with possible house-dust mite allergy - Two major Dermatophagoides species are represented.
People wanting more detailed information after previous allergy testing - Molecular allergology can provide information beyond a whole-extract test.
Symptoms and Reasons to Consider the Allergy Test with Interpretation Test
IgE-mediated allergic symptoms can vary depending on the allergen, route of exposure and individual sensitivity.
Sneezing or nasal congestion - Common symptoms of allergic rhinitis.
Itchy or watery eyes - Can occur following exposure to airborne allergens.
Hives or itchy skin - Urticaria can occur during some allergic reactions.
Swelling of the lips, face or mouth after food exposure - This requires appropriate allergy assessment.
Recurring symptoms around pets - Animal allergens may contribute to nasal, eye or respiratory symptoms.
Seasonal symptoms - Tree, grass or weed pollen sensitisation can produce symptoms at particular times of year.
Symptoms in dusty environments - House-dust mite allergy may be relevant.
Reactions after particular foods - Specific IgE testing may help investigate suspected immediate-type food allergy.
Breathing difficulty, throat tightness, collapse or a rapidly progressing allergic reaction can represent anaphylaxis and requires emergency medical care.
Do not deliberately consume or expose yourself to an allergen that has previously caused a serious reaction simply for the purpose of testing.
How to Prepare
Specific IgE blood testing measures sensitisation and does not require deliberate exposure to a suspected allergen.
If you take immunosuppressive treatment or have a complex allergy history, discuss testing with an appropriate healthcare professional.

Your report includes your laboratory findings, interpretation and personalised recommendations.
When Will I Receive My Results?
Results are generally expected within approximately 5–10 days after the laboratory receives your sample.
The report provides the specific IgE findings together with interpretation of your sensitisation pattern.
Occasionally, laboratory quality-control or sample-related issues may extend the turnaround.
Understanding Your Results
A negative result means no significant specific IgE was detected for that tested allergen component according to the laboratory method.
This makes IgE sensitisation to that tested component less likely.
A positive result means measurable allergen-specific IgE has been detected.
The concentration and molecular pattern may provide useful information, but a positive result does not automatically mean you will develop symptoms when exposed.
Clinical allergy is established by considering laboratory sensitisation together with your actual reaction history.
The report may also identify patterns that are compatible with cross-reactivity between related allergen proteins.
