Allergy Test (IgE)
GetTested's Allergy Rapid Test (IgE) offers a quick and easy solution for detecting allergies from the comfort of your home. Within just 10 minutes, this test reveals whether you have high levels of IgE, indicating potential allergic reactions. It's perfect for those seeking fast insights into their allergy status. Beyond just offering a simple yes or no answer, GetTested also provides comprehensive lab-based allergy tests for foods, pollen, and pet dander.
Please note that allergic reactions and histamine intolerance can cause similar symptoms. If you're considering testing for histamine intolerance, we offer that too.
Efficient Allergy Detection
GetTested’s Allergy Rapid Test (IgE) enables a fast identification of potential allergies. After collecting a small blood sample and applying it to the test cassette, results are available within minutes. This makes the test suitable for individuals who need prompt information regarding possible allergic responses.
Why Test IgE Levels?
Immunoglobulin E (IgE) plays a critical role in the body's immune response to toxins, parasites, and environmental factors but can also trigger allergic reactions. Elevated IgE levels may indicate conditions such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, and food allergies. With this rapid test, high IgE levels can be identified quickly, helping guide further steps.
Common Allergy Symptoms
Symptoms like sneezing, itching, rashes, and swelling are often associated with allergic reactions. If these symptoms occur and you are uncertain whether they are due to an allergy or something else, the Allergy Rapid Test (IgE) offers a fast method to clarify this.
Interpreting the Results
The test has a relative sensitivity of 100.0% and a specificity of over 98.0%, ensuring reliable results. A positive result indicates elevated IgE levels, suggesting an allergic reaction, while a negative result indicates that IgE levels are within the normal range.
Extended Testing Options
For more in-depth insights, GetTested also offers lab-based allergy tests that assess reactions to specific allergens such as foods, pollen, and pet dander. These tests measure the severity of allergic responses, which can be useful for tailored treatment and lifestyle adjustments.
*The test is CE-approved for professional use.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.
