ALEX test or ALEX² test (Allergy Explorer) <TAG1> is a modern molecular allergy test that is performed on a blood sample and allows detection of sensitization of up to 295 allergens at the same time.
What does the ALEX test determine?
- Overall IgE level <TAG1> immunoglobulins E responsible for allergic reactions.
-
IgE-specific to:
- Molecular components of allergens (for example, individual proteins in pollen, products, etc.),
- Whole extracts of allergens (for example, birch pollen, milk, dust mites, etc.).
Benefits of the ALEX² test:
- Minimum blood (only a few microliters),
- One test instead of dozens of separate tests,
- Detection of cross-allergy (for example between pollen and fruit),
- It can be done even while taking antihistamines,
- Painless (does not cause an allergic reaction, unlike skin tests),
- Creation of an allergological profile or patient passport.
What is it for?
- Diagnosis of respiratory, food, contact allergies,
- Understanding which molecules cause allergies (this is important for deciding whether to carry out allergen-specific immunotherapy),
- Detection of hidden or non-obvious allergens.
