ISAC allergy test


At Affidea, we offer the ISAC Allergy Test, an advanced and accurate tool for allergy diagnosis. This test, also known as ImmunoCAP ISAC, is a molecular allergy test that allows highly accurate detection of sensitization to multiple allergens in a single blood sample. It is ideal for patients with complex allergic symptoms or who have not been able to clearly identify the causes of their allergic reactions.

What is the ISAC Test?

The ISAC Test is a microarray analysis of allergenic proteins. Unlike conventional allergy tests, which focus on detecting allergies to whole extracts (unfractionated allergens), the ISAC Test detects specific molecular components of each allergen. This provides a much more detailed and accurate diagnosis, helping specialists to better understand the allergic reaction and create a more effective treatment plan.

With a single blood sample, the ISAC Test can analyze sensitivity to over 100 different allergens, divided into foods, pollens, mites, animal epithelia, fungi and other common allergens.

Who is the ISAC Test suitable for?

If you have any type of allergy you should take this test. Using Biochip technology, specific lgE antibodies to 112 allergenic proteins of different categories are determined simultaneously:

  • Food allergens.

  • Aeroallergens.

  • Latex.

  • Other allergens.

What does the ISAC Test detect?

The ISAC Allergy Test can identify sensitivities to:

  • Pollens: Trees, grasses and weeds, such as birch, olive, ragweed and more.

  • Dust mites: Household and storage mites, responsible for common respiratory allergies.

  • Food allergens: Specific proteins present in foods such as eggs, milk, nuts (peanuts, almonds, hazelnuts), shellfish and others.

  • Animal allergens: Epithelia of cats, dogs and other domestic animals.

  • Fungi and molds: Fungal allergens that may be present in indoor and outdoor environments.

  • Latex and other environmental allergens: Elements present in the environment that can trigger allergic reactions.

Advantages of the ISAC Allergy Test

  • Accurate diagnosis: Unlike conventional allergy tests, the ISAC Test identifies individual allergenic components, allowing a more specific and detailed diagnosis.

  • Cross-allergy detection: This test allows the identification of cross-reactions between different allergens, providing a more complete picture of the patient's sensitivities.

  • Less invasive: More than 100 different allergens can be tested with a single blood sample, without the need for multiple tests or pricks.

  • Valuable information for immunotherapy: By identifying specific components, a more effective and patient-tailored immunotherapy treatment can be designed.

  • Fast and convenient: It is a simple and fast test, ideal for people looking for clear answers without going through lengthy diagnostic processes.
