Patient Preparation
Multiple patient encounters should be avoided.
Collect
Serum separator tube.
Specimen Preparation
Separate serum from cells ASAP or within 2 hours of collection. Transfer 0.5 mL serum to an ARUP Standard Transport Tube. (Min: 0.25 mL). For multiple allergen orders refer to "Allergen Specimen Collection Instructions" at www.aruplab.com/testing/resources/specimen.
Stability (from collection to initiation)
After separation from cells: Ambient: 48 hours; Refrigerated: 2 weeks; Frozen: 1 year
Allergen results of 0.10-0.34 kU/L are intended for specialist use as the clinical relevance is undetermined. Even though increasing ranges are reflective of increasing concentrations of allergen-specific IgE, these concentrations may not correlate with the degree of clinical response or skin testing results when challenged with a specific allergen. The correlation of allergy laboratory results with clinical history and in vivoreactivity to specific allergens is essential. A negative test may not rule out clinical allergy or even anaphylaxis.
This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by ARUP Laboratories. It has not been cleared or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. This test was performed in a CLIA certified laboratory and is intended for clinical purposes.
