A broad allergy profile designed to investigate IgE responses across a wide range of common environmental and food allergens.
Blood testing is available to adults aged 18 and over.
How does it work?This is a comprehensive allergy panel covering 295 allergens from a single blood sample. It uses microarray testing to look across a wide range of pollens, foods, animals, mites, moulds, venoms and other potential triggers, while also helping identify patterns of cross-reactivity between related allergens.
Allergies occur when the immune system reacts to a normally harmless substance as though it were a threat. Identifying likely triggers can help you understand symptoms, avoid relevant allergens and discuss appropriate treatment with a healthcare professional. The profile can be analysed from an eligible finger-prick sample as well as a professionally collected blood sample.
The biomarkers included in this profile are grouped below so you can see exactly what is being assessed.
This profile measures total and allergen-specific IgE to investigate Type I allergic responses across a broad range of allergen sources.
Total IgE measures the overall amount of immunoglobulin E in the blood. IgE is involved in immediate allergic reactions, although total IgE alone does not identify which specific allergen is responsible.
The panel includes grass, tree and weed pollens to help identify seasonal airborne allergy triggers.
This part of the allergy profile looks for IgE sensitisation associated with grass pollens. A laboratory result can help identify potential allergic triggers, but it should be interpreted alongside symptoms, exposure history and clinical advice.
This part of the allergy profile looks for IgE sensitisation associated with tree pollens. A laboratory result can help identify potential allergic triggers, but it should be interpreted alongside symptoms, exposure history and clinical advice.
This part of the allergy profile looks for IgE sensitisation associated with weed pollens. A laboratory result can help identify potential allergic triggers, but it should be interpreted alongside symptoms, exposure history and clinical advice.
The panel includes house-dust and storage mites, common indoor allergens that may contribute to year-round symptoms.
This part of the allergy profile looks for IgE sensitisation associated with house-dust mites. A laboratory result can help identify potential allergic triggers, but it should be interpreted alongside symptoms, exposure history and clinical advice.

This part of the allergy profile looks for IgE sensitisation associated with wasp and wasp-venom allergens. A laboratory result can help identify potential allergic triggers, but it should be interpreted alongside symptoms, exposure history and clinical advice.
This part of the allergy profile looks for IgE sensitisation associated with cockroach allergens. A laboratory result can help identify potential allergic triggers, but it should be interpreted alongside symptoms, exposure history and clinical advice.
The panel includes fungal-spore and yeast allergens.
This part of the allergy profile looks for IgE sensitisation associated with mould and fungal allergens. A laboratory result can help identify potential allergic triggers, but it should be interpreted alongside symptoms, exposure history and clinical advice.
This part of the allergy profile looks for IgE sensitisation associated with yeast allergens. A laboratory result can help identify potential allergic triggers, but it should be interpreted alongside symptoms, exposure history and clinical advice.
The panel includes allergens from egg, fish and seafood, meat and milk.
This part of the allergy profile looks for IgE sensitisation associated with egg allergens. A laboratory result can help identify potential allergic triggers, but it should be interpreted alongside symptoms, exposure history and clinical advice.
This part of the allergy profile looks for IgE sensitisation associated with fish and seafood allergens. A laboratory result can help identify potential allergic triggers, but it should be interpreted alongside symptoms, exposure history and clinical advice.
This part of the allergy profile looks for IgE sensitisation associated with meat-related allergens. A laboratory result can help identify potential allergic triggers, but it should be interpreted alongside symptoms, exposure history and clinical advice.

Whether you use a home test or have your sample taken with one of our trained clinicians, our blood tests are quick and easy to use.
At home, or in one of our testing locations.
Home kits include return postage. Professionally collected samples are sent to the laboratory for analysis.
We provide a secure link to your results and our doctor’s comprehensive report.
Laboratory results are provided with reference ranges which are based on the normal test results of a large group of healthy people from the same age group and gender as yourself.
Sometimes, healthy people get results outside the reference range, while people with health problems can have results in the normal range. If your results fall outside the reference range, or if you have symptoms despite a normal result, you may require more testing or wish to discuss the result with your GP. Alternatively you can book an appointment with one of our Private GP for £49 if you would like to discuss your results in more detail.
For simplicity, we provided your results graphically, so they are easy to understand. Any result flagged amber is outside of the standard range. Normal results are in green.
