The Allergy Explorer² (ALEX²) is a quantitative test for the measurement of allergen specific IgE (sIgE) to more than 295 allergens and a semi-quantitative test for the measurement of total IgE (tIgE) in human serum, heparin plasma, and sodium citrate plasma.
CCD Blocking: Obtain accurate results with automatic blocking of IgE antibodies with reactivity to cross-reactive carbohydrate determinants (CCDs).
Molecular Specificity: Widest range of molecular allergens for improved accuracy, reproducibility, and detection of allergen cross-reactivity

1. What percentage of your IgE allergy testing panel consists of molecular allergens rather than allergen extracts? The ALEX2 IgE allergen panel consists of 117 extracts and 183 molecular allergens. This represents the largest panel of molecular allergens on the market, including 50 unique...
Cases of food and environmental allergies have been increasing over the last decade. While conservative estimates suggest IgE-mediated allergy affects 6-8% of children and 2-3% of adults, some estimates are as high as 30%.3, 2 Symptoms can range from mild to severe and include itching, hives,...
Food sensitivity or food intolerance involves a non-allergic response to a food or food additive. In a recent on-line survey conducted in the U.S., 24% of adults aged 18 to 79 reported a food intolerance. While a food allergy is typically mediated by IgE antibodies, adverse reactions to food...
The ALPCO Glucagon ELISA is for the quantitative determination of glucagon in human EDTA plasma. This assay was developed for ease-of-use and demonstrates superior sensitivity while eliminating cross-reactivity issues present in other commercially-available assays.
ALPCO’s automated turbidimetric solution for calprotectin testing offers enhanced efficiency without compromising clinical sensitivity or specificity. Clinicians can prioritize endoscopic evaluation for the patients that need it most and quickly put IBS patients on the right treatment path.
Join our speaker from Department of Pathology , University of Utah School of Medicine, Dr. Heather Nelson, to discuss how to validate and launch a FDA-approved assay.
Energy homeostasis is a focus of research into diabetes and obesity. Read about how our assays in this area can assist both academic and industry researchers.
