Rapid Allergy Testing for Allergic Rhinitis & Allergic Asthma Tests - Medical / Health Care
Nearly 35% of respiratory allergy sufferers experience both allergic rhinitis and asthma, which impact their quality of life 1,2. Standard diagnostic methods such as skin tests are at times impossible or difficult to perform, have limited reliability and must be performed by trained Allergy and Asthma Specialists. Similarly, laboratory blood tests for specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) levels have a long turnaround time until results, thus delaying treatment up to several days and requiring multiple visits. Fast and accurate diagnosis of allergies is therefore key to relieve symptoms and to guide the best treatment.

Abionic has developed the IVD CAPSULE Aeroallergen blood test, a unique, rapid, easy-to-operate serological IgE test at the point of care, composed of 7 key allergens to help diagnose allergic asthma 3,4.
Figure 1. Method comparison: sIgE on abioSCOPE (whole blood) vs the laboratory gold standard (ImmunoCAP) (plasma). Green squares denote RAST class agreements.
Table 1. An allergy expert panel had access to all patients’ medical records, with sIgE concentration either from abioSCOPE® or ImmunoCAP (blinded method). n: number of patients; P: number of cases where the panel agreed on the presence of an allergy; N: agreement that the patient was not allergic; D: discordant decisions.
IgE assays reached an agreement of 94.6% on the abioSCOPE® vs the reference laboratory method
