ImmunoCAP™ Phadiatop™ test measures IgE antibodies to a well-balanced mixture of common inhalant allergens and helps rule in or out atopic allergy, a tendency to produce IgE mediated response to protein(s) in the environment. ImmunoCAP Phadiatop Infant, optimized for children younger than 5 years old, includes food allergens that are important for that age group.1-5
These tests can help clinicians:
ImmunoCAP Phadiatop testing can be performed with few limitations. Unlike traditional skin-prick testing (SPT), an ImmunoCAP blood test:
To help identify the symptom-provoking allergens and the quantitative values, it is recommended to retest the sample with the appropriate ImmunoCAP Specific IgE whole allergens.
