Diagnosing Allergies

Diagnostic Methods

  • Traditional Methods: Skin prick tests and single allergen blood tests.
  • Molecular Diagnostics: Advanced testing like ALEX² provides detailed insights into allergen sensitivities in a single assay.

Why Choose ALEX²?

  • Precision: Identifies specific allergenic proteins with a single test.
  • Comprehensive Panel: Analyzes 117 allergen extracts and 178 molecular allergens, making it the most extensive molecular panel available.
  • Enhanced Management: Results guide individualized treatment and immunotherapy.

Multiplex vs. Singleplex Testing

  • Multiplex (e.g., ALEX²): Tests multiple allergens (295 allergens) simultaneously, offering a comprehensive sensitization profile with faster results.
  • Singleplex: Tests one allergen at a time, requiring a stepwise approach.
