From Clinic to Lab: The Allergy Diagnostic Journey
Did you know that IgE, the antibody responsible for allergic reactions, is 30,000 times less abundant than other immunoglobulins in the body? This staggering fact underscores the importance of highly sensitive allergy diagnostics. In this episode, we pull back the curtain on what happens to allergy diagnostic blood samples after they leave your clinic. Clinical laboratory expert Jessica Murphy, MLS (ASCP), guides us through the intricate process of specific IgE testing, from sample processing to result interpretation. Learn about the advanced technology behind ImmunoCAP™ allergy diagnostics, the role of Phadia™ Laboratory Systems in ensuring accurate results, and the meticulous quality control measures employed by Thermo Fisher Scientific. Discover how regional respiratory profiles are curated, the significance of binding capacity in IgE detection, and the collaborative effort between clinicians and lab experts in reaching accurate diagnoses. Gain insights into interpreting allergy diagnostic results and their impact on patient management, illustrated through a real-world case study of a young patient with respiratory symptoms.Resources and references here: https://www.thermofisher.com/phadia/us/en/resources/immunocast/allergy-diagnostics-blood-draw-process.html
