Explore the ImmunoCAP testing portfolio
ImmunoCAP testing is the product of over 50 years of research and development, aiming to give you clinically accurate and relevant testing options for the patients you serve every day.
The gold standard in in-vitro allergy diagnostics with more than 500 whole allergen and allergen mixes and 100 allergen component tests which can be performed irrespective of a patient’s age, skin condition, medication, disease activity, and pregnancy.1-7
A multiplex specific IgE test that provides allergic sensitization results for over 100 allergen components from 48 different allergen sources, all from a single 30 µl sample of serum or plasma.8
A quick and user-friendly near-patient specific IgE test with a high capability of identifying patients who may have clinically diagnosed allergies.9,10
Specific IgG4 testing that can provide valuable clinical information on whether the immune system is responding during allergen-specific immunotherapy.11,12
A unique marker that measures the total level of tryptase released by mast cells into circulation, aiding in the diagnosis of mastocytosis as well as providing insight into whether mast cell activation occurred during a severe reaction. Additionally, tryptase provides information that can inform venom immunotherapy (VIT) administration.13-15
A powerful test that quantitatively measures Eosinophil Cationic Protein (ECP) in human serum.16 ECP has been used as a clinical marker in asthma and may help assess disease activity and severity of airway inflammation.17
Specific IgG testing that can be used as a marker for exposure in interstitial lung diseases such as extrinsic allergic alveolitis (aka hypersensitivity pneumonitis) and chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA).18-21
A fully quantitative test that measures the overall quantity of circulating IgE in the blood, which can be used as an aid in the clinical diagnosis of IgE mediated allergic disorders, complementing the information provided by clinical findings and specific IgE testing.22
