ALEX Allergy Test
The ALEX 2 Allergy Test is an advanced blood test that screens for 295 allergenic components, including foods and airborne allergens, in a single test. It uses cutting-edge microarray technology to provide highly precise IgE antibody results, helping identify allergic triggers with greater accuracy.
The test covers a wide range of allergens, including:
- Airborne allergens – Pollens (grass, birch, ragweed), dust mites, animal dander (cat, dog), molds
- Food allergens – Nuts (peanut, hazelnut), milk, egg, wheat, soy, seafood, fruits, and more
- Insect venoms – Bee, wasp
- Latex and other allergens
