ImmunoCAP® Quantitative Scoring Guide:


Class IgE (kU/L) Comment
0 <0.10 Negative
0/1 0.10-0.34 Equivocal/Borderline
1 0.35-0.69 Low Positive
2 0.70-3.49 Moderate Positive
3 3.50-17.49 High Positive
4 17.50-49.99 Very High Positive
5 50.00-99.99 Very High Positive
6 >99.99 Very High Positive

Note that Eurofins includes an extra calibrator at 0.10 kU/L and uses it to
define an optional equivocal class

Test Comments:  
Methodology: Immunocap
Clinical Significance:  This assay is used to detect allergen specific-IgE using the ImmunoCAP® FEIA method. In vitro allergy testing is the primary testing mode for allergy diagnosis
Documentation:  The ImmunoCAP® FEIA method uses as the solid phase a flexible, hydrophobic cellulosic polymer to which allergen has been covalently linked. The advantage of this system is that it has a very high antigen binding capacity when compared to other systems and it has minimal non-specific binding with high total IgE. Eurofins provides an optional low range calibrator at 0.1 kU/L and a 0/1 class. This test has been cleared or approved for diagnostic use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
Custom Panel: No
