The clinical relevance of allergen results of 0.10 - 0.34 kU/L are undetermined and intended for specialist use. Allergens denoted with a ** include results using one or more analyte specific reagents. In those cases, the test was developed and its analytical performance characteristics have been determined by Quest Diagnostics. It has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The FDA has determined that such clearance or approval is not necessary. This assay has been validated pursuant to the CLIA regulations and is used for clinical purposes.


Methodology:
  • Radioimmunoassay (RIA)
Documentation

The test method is a radioimmunoassay (RIA). Allergens are covalently coupled to the cellulose paper discs via the APT method. 125I-labelled anti-IgE is used to quantify the patient's specific IgE.To improve sensitivity, Viracor-IBT Laboratories provides an additional low range calibrator at 0.1 kU/L and 0/1 class. This test has not been cleared or approved for diagnostic use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. - See more at: http://www.viracor.com/Test-Catalog/Detail/Bean-Pinto-Phaseolus-vulgaris-IgE--56310S#sthash.98mhHtQs.dpuf
