Alex Test: the complete allergy test
The Alex Test is a brand-new molecular allergy test that analyses the immune response and adverse reactions of a subject to 295 allergens 117 extracts and 178 molecular allergens. The latter include risk markers of the storage protein family and other new markers. More than 50 unique molecular allergens (including total IgE).
More than 50 unique molecular allergens (including total IgE).
The main features of this latest generation in vitro test are the increased specificity, accuracy and simultaneous measurement of numerous allergens to provide a complete picture of the patient’s allergological situation.
To meet diagnostic needs, microarray technology is used to measure total IgE (tIgE) and specific IgE (sIgE) directed towards almost 300 allergenic extracts.
The test uses large panels of both extracted allergens and molecular allergens, thus giving a complete picture of each patient’s sensitisation and also making it easier to identify the right therapy.
Alex Test, measured allergological diagnosis
The Alex Test is the most complete test on the market that is capable of supporting the diagnosis of allergic diseases in association with other diagnostic findings such as medical history, clinical history or physical examinatio
The examination identifies the allergic and sensitising sources of numerous allergens, such as pollen, mites, microorganisms and spores, foods of plant origin, foods of animal origin, fish, crustaceans and molluscs, insect venom, latex, parasites, allergens of animal origin.
In the presence of an allergic reaction, in fact, the immune system is activated, causing symptoms such as itchy eyes, rhinorrhea, rashes, digestive problems and – in the most severe cases – anaphylactic shock.
Accurate and reliable test results help to formulate a correct diagnosis to continue with early and targeted therapeutic interventions.
When is the Alex Test recommended?
The test, a simple and quick blood test, is recommended in the presence of rhinitis, conjunctivitis, asthma, urticaria, eczema with or without febrile symptoms; in the case of a family history, for allergy screening or following disorders such as vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, headache and other issues caused by food intake.
