Food allergen test results that can change lives.
For laboratorians interested in adding ImmunoCAP to your test portfolio, explore the ImmunoCAP product catalog.
Found in over 6,000 scientific publications1 and countless health guidelines, ImmunoCAP testing is the gold standard in in-vitro allergy diagnostics2 with over 50 years of research and development.
From the most to the least common food allergens, ImmunoCAP tests offer a multitude of testing options. Speak to a product specialist to learn more about our testing options for food allergens.
ImmunoCAP testing also offers cutting-edge allergen component test options, which measure allergic sensitization to specific proteins or carbohydrates found in whole allergens and gives you a deeper understanding of cross-reactivity, severity, and potential tolerance.3
Food allergies can cause a wide variety of symptoms, sometimes making diagnosis difficult.4
Out of the 35% of patients who self-report having a food allergy, only 3.5% have a true clinical allergy.4
ImmunoCAP testing can help narrow your differential diagnosis and determine whether a patient's gastrointestinal symptoms may be due to allergies.
Eczema
80% of infants with severe atopic dermatitis suffer from food allergies such as milk, egg white, and sesame.5 ImmunoCAP Specific IgE testing can help provide insight on whether these symptoms are due to food allergies, non-allergic triggers, or something else.
Asthma
Patients with asthma face an increased risk of severe exacerbations if they also have food allergies,6 and testing can help you prepare patients to avoid certain triggers and construct an asthma management plan.
Nonallergic food-related diseases
ImmunoCAP Specific IgE testing aids in the diagnosis of allergic diseases.7 This is especially helpful to differentiate allergies from non-allergic conditions, such as IBS.4

The laboratory will process the ImmunoCAP test on Phadia Laboratory Systems.
Assess and interpret ImmunoCAP test results to personalize patient management.
Whether you’re a primary care provider or a specialist, interpretation guides for allergen component test results provide clear guidance on how sensitization to different types of food allergen components may influence the patient management plan.
Specific IgE blood test results should be interpreted in conjunction with the patient’s clinical history and physical examination.8-10 ImmunoCAP blood test results will indicate whether the patient is sensitized (i.e., has IgE antibodies) to specific allergens. However, sensitization to specific allergens does not always indicate a clinical allergy, as sensitization does not always result in symptoms.8,11
Trusted across specialties, ImmunoCAP Specific IgE tests are the gold standard in in-vitro allergy diagnostics,7 which can help optimize outcomes for allergy patients.
