Childrens Allergy Profile, 29 tests, Home Kit – £99

What is a Children’s Allergy Panel Test?

An allergy occurs when the immune system interprets a foreign substance harmful to most people as harmful. When you are allergic, the immune system overreacts to the allergen by producing IgE immunoglobulins.

Why get one?

• If you have severe earache, headaches and itchy eyes.
• And if there is a risk of an allergic reaction to a minimal amount of allergen.
• If you are being treated with antihistamines or other medicines.

What are the Instructions for use?

Firstly, Please take your sample in the morning. We advise that you use this for at least one hour before any medication.

When you collect your sample, try the following tips:

• Drink plenty of water. Being well-hydrated will make it easier to collect your sample.
• Shower before you take your test or run your hands under warm water for a few minutes, as heat improves blood flow.
• Do light exercise (move around, walk, etc.) to get the blood flowing.
• Also, ensure your arm is below your heart level – let gravity do some of the work.
• Nails that are too long can make it difficult to collect a sample.
• Do not shake the sample vigorously but invert the tube gently 10 times. (gently swirl the tube after each drop of blood).
• And do not squeeze (milk) the finger.
• Re-warm your hands during collection where needed.

But how long do the results take?

Finally, the target turnaround time for Children’s Allergy Panel Test results is within one week. Thus, the turnaround time is a guide only and sometimes depends on assay run schedules.

Therefore, please take your test from Monday to Thursday to avoid delivery delays at the lab. 

Also therefore, the way forward for home testing is to ensure that you send the Children’s Allergy testing UK sample at the right time. Don’t leave it sitting around the home for 1-2 days. Also, to reduce clotting effects, please send the sample before the collection box cut-off time for the last collection and when you take the sample.

Lastly, the Medicines Online Scientists are fully trained by the instrument suppliers and our Quality Control and Medical Directors. Therefore, you can rest assured that the samples will be processed quickly and reliably.

However, our company’s standards require Policies and Procedures to be audited weekly and maintained regularly, which adds an extra layer of quality control to your samples.
