Testing Principle
The latest technologies in laboratory medicine are now able to measure, from small blood samples, our immune system response to 96 foods. The actual levels of IgE and IgG antibodies against these individual allergens can be precisely measured. The US BioTek Laboratories allergy test will help you discover with ease what you need to avoid or what you can include in your diet to minimize allergic reactions and strengthen your immune system.
ELISA - A Reliable Technology that We Employ
ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay) a term describing the biochemical process whereby the antibodies are detected in your blood. The ELISA Food Allergy Test is different from other food allergy testing. It measures IgE and IgG antibodies (immediate and delayed food allergies), Thereby, to find out the influence of allergy food in our body.
In a normal healthy person, or in someone with no food allergies, no antibodies will be detected. However, in a high percentage of people with chronic health problems, this test reveals elevated antibodies to a specific food or foods. Invariably, these people feel better after removal of the offending foods and treatment for deficiencies related to their food allergy.
Duplicate Testing with High Accuracy. The technology has ranked first in Swedish Analysis !
In 2010, The Swedish health and lifestyle website, Kostkoll, recently conducted a comparison of the five food allergy testing (IgG) methods available in the Swedish market. Each blood sample was sent in two differently named sets to each company. The report says, HK BioTek is using the highest accuracy technology in food allergy test, and it is the only report with reproducible results (means the test has high accuracy and two sample sets are completely matching. And also the technology is the highest in sensitivity.)
ELISA technique is accurate and reliable; the degree of accuracy is more than 85%. We repeat the testing process twice for each sample, in order to achieve the highest degree of accuracy.
The Tests Available in the Market
There are many kinds of allergy tests in the market, but the most commonly employed tests are skin test and blood test.
Skin Test – inject food proteins into the skin and observe the redness and itchiness resulted, can indicate the immediate (IgE) reaction
Blood Test – draw blood from the body for the analysis of food-specific antibody levels, can indicate both immediate (IgE) and delayed (IgG) reaction
