Collect

Preferred: SST; Acceptable: Red

Specimen Preparation

Allow serum samples to clot at room temperature for a minimum of 20 minutes. Separate serum from cells ASAP or within 2 hours of collection. 0.25 mL serum is required for testing plus 0.1 mL for each additional allergen ordered (Min: 0.75mL per Allergen)

Storage/Transport Temperature

Refrigerated or Frozen

Stability (from collection to initiation)

Refrigerated: 7 days; Frozen: 1 year

Reference Interval

 
Reporting Range
(reported in kU/L)		 Probablility of IgE Mediated Clinical Reaction Class scoring
Less than 0.10 No significant level detected 0
0.10 - 0.34 Borderline Level 0/1
0.35 - 0.7 Low 1
0.71 - 3.5 Moderate 2
3.51 - 17.5 High 3
17.6 - 50.00 Very High 4
51.00 - 100 Very High 5
Greater than 100  Very High 6

Interpretive Data

Even though increasing ranges are reflective of increasing concentrations of allergen-specific IgE, these concentrations may not correlate with the degree of clinical response or skin testing results when challenged with a specific allergen. The correlation of allergy laboratory results with clinical history and in vivo reactivity to specific allergens is essential. A negative test may not rule out clinical allergy or even anaphylaxis.
