Why Blood Allergy testing is important?
| ‧ |
Progression from Allergy to Asthma has become a growing problem worldwide |
| ‧ |
Around 40- 50 million Americans are affected by allergic diseases |
| ‧ |
Average 25% of the population affected by allergic diseases in developing countries |
| ‧ |
Allergies have been associated with decreased school and public health concern |
| ‧ |
Skin prick allergy test ( in vivo test) are invasive, uncomfortable and time consuming |
| ‧ |
Essential need to identify cause of an individual’s allergic reaction to guide treatment |
Solution
| ‧ |
Agnitio BioIC System is a microfluidic protein microarray system that performs multiplexed allergen –specific IgE antibody detection in each patient's serum. |
| |
|
The Power of Agnitio BioIC System
| ‧ |
Can identify allergic reaction with a large menu of allergens available including food, animals, dust mite, molds and wild range of seasonal allergies. |
| ‧ |
Takes only 2ml whole blood from vein or
fingertip (90 ul serum)
rather than numerous skin pricks |
| ‧ |
Performing test in conjunction with physical examination and evaluation of patient’s history |
