Rapid test for the determination of total class E Immunoglobulins (IgE) in whole blood samples

Immunoglobulins E (IgE) are the class of antibodies that are most involved in allergic reactions. In normal conditions, IgE are present in blood in a really low quantity.

However, when they come in contact with the allergens, their concentration increases and they can trigger the cascade of reactions leading to the appearance of the main symptoms of an allergic reaction (such as skin erythema, itchiness, sneezing repeatedly, and, in some cases, anaphylactic shock).

This is why it is important to check if IgE levels are above normal, especially in people with a family history of allergies.
