How to prepare for your test
Test limitations
Please be aware that allergy blood tests can sometimes produce false positive results, meaning that a positive result does not always indicate an actual allergy to the substance. Maintaining an allergy diary can be a valuable tool in identifying the most likely triggers of your symptoms. Whenever you experience a reaction, make a note of your exposures over the previous 1–2 hours (e.g., foods, toiletries, pets, plants, etc.). We encourage you to include these details in the supporting information section of your test request to enable our doctors to provide the most accurate and informed interpretation of your results.

FAQs
What can I learn from this test?
Our test is ideal as part of an initial investigation screen if you have signs of IgE-mediated allergies, such as hives, redness of the skin, vomiting, and lip or facial swelling, which develop quickly after exposure to an allergen.
A positive reaction to one of the mixes tested allows you to narrow down which substances are likely to be causing your allergy but does not allow the single allergen to be identified. So, you may need to arrange a further test for the single allergens in one of the mixes.
Which allergens are included?
The allergens tested are:
- -Food mix: cod, cows milk, egg white, soya bean, peanut
- -Wheat grass mix: cocksfoot, meadow fescue, meadow rye, timothy.
- -Single allergens: cat dander, Cladosporium herbarum, dog dander, house dust mite, latex, cod.
What is an Allergy Screen (UK) Blood Test?
Our allergy screen provides a comprehensive analysis of the most common allergens which can cause IgE-mediated allergies in the UK. You'll also get a total measure of your immunoglobulin E, which is often raised if you have an IgE-mediated allergy.
