ALEX³ allergy Test

The panel includes allergens associated with a wide range of sources:

grass, tree and weed pollen; dust mites, animal epithelia and dander; moulds, yeasts and other microorganisms; cereals, fruit, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds and spices; milk, eggs, meat, fish and seafood; insects and venoms; latex and other relevant allergen sources.

Combining allergen extracts with molecular components makes it possible to examine both the allergen source as a whole and the individual proteins recognised by IgE antibodies.

ALEX³ may provide useful additional information for people who:

• experience symptoms consistent with an allergy but have not yet identified the trigger;
• report reactions associated with several foods, substances or environmental factors;
• have multiple sensitisations or suspected cross-reactivity;
• have undergone previous tests that do not fully explain their symptoms;
• require a broader sensitisation profile to support specialist assessment.

Whether the test is appropriate should be evaluated in the context of the individual’s symptoms, medical history and the advice of their doctor or allergy specialist.

ALEX³ simultaneously analyses 300 allergens from different sources, providing a broad and detailed sensitisation profile from a single blood sample. Its molecular approach identifies the specific proteins involved and helps distinguish genuine sensitisation, co-sensitisation and cross-reactivity.

The test provides quantitative results for both specific and total IgE, giving specialists useful information to assess the clinical picture and determine whether further investigation may be appropriate.
