For over 40 years, we've been supporting GPs and allergists in the exploration and management of allergies with an exhaustive range of tests, including first-line screening tests (ImmunoCAP Phadiatop for respiratory allergies, ImmunoCAP Trophatop for food allergies) and allergen-specific searches (unit tests, CLA tests on several allergens at the same time). For complex allergies in polyallergic patients, Cerba offers simultaneous measurement of allergen specific IgE for 112 allergenic components (ISAC microchip).
Every year, we add new allergens as research progresses. Today, the catalog offers over 800 allergens.
We also offer the basophil activation test (which notably enables drug sensitivity assessment), the allergy mediator release assay (in case of anaphylactic shock), or tests to monitor the efficacy of allergen immunotherapies (specific IgG and IgG4 assay).
