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 - Duplicate Testing with High Accuracy
‧ ELISA measures IgE and IgG antibodies which are detected in your blood, thereby, to find out the influence of allergy food in our body
- Testing process will be repeated twice for each sample, in order to achieve the highest degree of accuracy
- A research done by Sweden says, HK BioTek is using the highest accuracy technology in food allergy test, also the technology is the highest in sensitivity and it is the only testing with reproducible results
Why skin (prick) testing doesn't work for food allergies ?
‧Skin (prick) testing involves injecting a substance under the skin and measuring the resulting inflammation, also known as a wheal
‧This technique leaves a lot to be desired； But more importantly, this test measures a single type of antibody, called IgE
‧Most food allergies are not IgE, but rather IgG reactions
‧The most accurate way to test ： detect food allergies through ELISA testing of the blood which measures the actual amount of IgE and IgG in blood
