Michael, We do allergen-specific IgE using the Optigen system, which is a Hitachi product. Measurement is via a dedicated luminometer and there are three panels of 20 allergens which can be tested for, inhalants, foods and "atopy" (which is a mixture of inhalant and food antigens). The "40" panel to which you refer is probably the full inhalant panel (20) plus the full food panel (20). Each panel is held in a large slide with a series of cuvettes attached. Let me know if you want details of the system (or just samples analysed) Nick Miller London On 14/02/2012, Colley, Michael <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > We used to send samples to ADC for a "UK40 Panel" of allergy testing. > > They are no longer in business.
